I want to rant
I am angry about a few things right now. But I'm trying to let those types of feelings settle themselves before I go off about them so I don't spend more time ranting than doing positive things. Having a cold and PMS isn't helping.
Holding back the rant...on a positive note, I successfully put together a new mailbox post and, after some root-chopping, was able to get it into the ground within the few free daylight hours I had on Friday, when Mother Nature tricked us into thinking it was Spring here. A neighbor has offered to help me cement it into place permanently, but it is holding so far, and looks so much better than the scrawny, tilted pipe-like post we had before.
And then it snowed yesterday. :P But! The tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and day lilies are coming up, and about half of the new perennials I planted last year are already returning. I bought vegetable and flower seeds to start inside in the next month: giant sunflowers and catnip will be test run this year.
There, ending with positive thoughts. The snow may fall again this week, but the flowers will soon bloom!
