a state or period of inactivity, stagnation, or depression. that would pretty much describe the end of winter. as far as growing things go winter is ‘park’ ‘stop’ and nothing is happening. there are a few things plant wise that actually see winter as their time. things like mosses and lichen. however they are little things both physically and visually. and as soon as everything else starts to grow they are pushed from center stage. so yes we are sitting here waiting for spring to start. emphasis on waiting… perhaps not so patiently waiting… though wait we will…

Hang in there, John. Soon you’ll have a garden full of these beauties.
I am hanging. I know it is coming. To balance things out I just got done talking to the happiness engineer. I had told them the Reader List is not functioning too well. They came back and ‘helped’ me use the ‘following’ button. In return I expressed my mitigated gratitude for their ‘help.’ Yes the doldrums will pass. I truly hope.
As if you never knew about that button…sigh
It was probably the bumkin button that threw them off guard…
Waiting is the only option. Take some waiting elixir, and time will pass quickly.
