Today- working on 1 of my goals, scrapbooking. My goal is to do 100 pages this year. Should be able to finish 20 this weekend. I get together with my daughter and we just scrapbook for 2 days. We meet at her place of employment, order out for meals and just scrapbook with no distractions. And will NOT be watching the Super Bowl !
Mel says
I also need to dig out my grow lights today, though I’m not quite sure when I want to start things yet. My tomato plants were HUGE by transplant last year, so I need to wait on those, but peppers had trouble getting going, so I may give them a head start. I find seed packets so confusing since they all use the last frost date as a reference, but things like tomatoes and peppers can’t go in the ground immediately after the risk of frost is past–they need it much warmer than that. I might need bite the bullet and pay for a planting site I used to use that was free but is now paid only. It was the only way I could keep track.
