Is it Spring yet?

I love winter. I love snow. However, this has got to be the first year that I've actually said "is it Spring yet?" I'm ready to spring my clock forward. I'm ready for warmer weather. I'm ready to start on my garden(s) (flowers and veggie). I'm ready to start running outside instead of on a treadmill. I'm just ready for the blah winter blues to go away. I want sunshine and daisy's. Heck, I'll even take the dreaded weed called dandelion - although a local winery makes the best Dandelion Wine ;) I'm ready to be busy outside. Gasp! Dare I say, I'm even ready to start mowing. I promise to not break anything this year. Well, I promise to try not to break anything.

My goal this year is to can more veggies. My tomato soup didn't turn out :( not sure what I did wrong but I'll try again. My spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce is delish!! To the point that I eat it by the spoonful - b/c I'm weird like that. Everyone seems to love my salsa and my canned peppers. I have only 2 jars left of tomato juice *note to self: more tomato juice this year. I also made applesauce this year - the neighbor has an orchard so I went up to pick a bushel of apples. I have to say, making homemade applesauce is soooooo easy and soooooo yummy!

Life is different this year. I'm different. I can't put my finger on it just yet. I feel change is in the air. My life is good though. I am good. (Ryan is also good). I feel like life is moving so fast, after all it's February of 2011 already. I'm starting to miss blogging...
