As a part of my birthday we went to Monticello Antique Marketplace to see the changes in the Salvage Garden that I mentioned on Monday. They are in the process of setting up for their spring show, it's a whole new world after being there before Christmas. We also had lunch at Monti's and I got Chris to play a hand of rummy with me while waiting for our order.

One thing I am picking up on right now is the desperate urge to go from Christmas straight into Spring. Or for stores to immediately advertise Valentine's Day. For gardeners this is a time to look back, regroup, plan ahead and just take a break. I feel the urge to order the seeds and plan the garden - when in fact no planting will be done here for months.
I have been a fan of SARK (Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy) for some time. I was thumbing through my copy of Living Juicy, Daily Morsels for Your Creative Soul. It's basically a daily guide, with a focus each week. She published it in 1994 back when she hand wrote and illustrated all of her books.
I found a quote I had marked in the intro:
"In order to do this work we need tending, planting, weeding, nourishing. This is the work we must do in our interior gardens." - SARK
That's what I'm intent on doing right now is tending to my 'interior garden' while winter takes it's time to cycle through to spring.
This includes spending time reading 3 new books I've received as gifts.
Chris knows I like Timber Press a publishing house in Portland, OR.
For Christmas I got:
The Beginner's Guide to Growing Heirloom Vegetables, by Marie Iannotti
and
Small Space Container Gardens, by Fern Richardson
and
For my birthday I will receive (as soon as it's printed):
The Timber Press Guide to Vegetable Gardening in the Pacific Northwest, by Lorene Edwards Forkner
