Are you yearning for growing green things? If so, you might want to listen to this column about my March garden.
I hope you have a few plants in your home to lift your spirts. Artificial flowers might help too, especially if you happen to kill house plants.
Join me in looking forward to spring.

In this 1985 column I wrote about having a winter thaw in February.
It’s something we can dream about today as we freeze in extreme cold weather in Wisconsin.
The below-zero temps will fade…hopefully soon. Spring will arrive.
Just be patient.
And bundle up!
Because it’s COLD outside.

As I write today, I am looking out a window watching the snow fall. I made an early run to the grocery store, so I’m set for the storm.
This column is an account of one slippery day when driving wasn’t so great. It’s another reason I stay off icy roads except in an emergency.
So if you are also watching the snow fall, stay safe.
Hopefully you won’t need to venture out on slippery roads.

I’ve never believed in this creature or its weather predictions.
This column makes my feelings clear.
So when February 2 arrives on Tuesday, I will not check how the groundhogs feel about winter around the country.
There’s sure to be at least 6 more weeks of winter. That’s just t he way it is in Wisconsin.
Eventually spring will arrive in her own sweet time.
I look forward to seeing green again.

I found beauty in my back-backyard today. This is where my family has camped on Sunnybook Farm.
Just two quick views of the farm on a cloudy day.
There are no other human footprints but mine in this section of the yard. Most footprints around belong to the cats, maybe a few came from raccoons or opossums.
Nature surrounds me.
