Winter is still with us. Darn!!

Hello family,
We were beginning to think that spring was starting to come into our area. Not really. We expected 4 to 6 inches of snow Wed. night into Thurs. morning. Well Wednesday night the snow did start but sometime during the night the rain joined it and by morning the snow was a terrible combination of slop. Then during the early hours of Friday we got 5 1/2 inches of snow, and it was a plowable amount of white, fluffy stuff. Now we are at 3:30 Saturday afternoon and they are expecting a lot of snow Sunday afternoon. Again snow to rain on the coast and as much as 12 inches inland and into the mountains. That doesn't sound a bit like springy weather. Oh well this is Maine remember. I forgot to add that the snow is blowing around like crazy and it is drifting all over the place.
We got our first harbinger of spring. A seed catalog. If we had a couple acres I think we would have a huge garden. There is a whole bunch of really neat seeds out there but I guess it's the dollar store for seeds. Green beans, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes. The seeds will be planted one of these days to be ready for the planting season. Read somewhere that you start the seeds 4 weeks before planting. So why have I planted seeds the middle of February in past years? By the time it's warm enough here in Maine to plant them out they are very tall and leggy. They don't usually supply a large quantity fruits for the labors. Oh well, maybe this year.
Guess I'll get out the planting boxes and get ready to plant, only have one more week.
Take care everyone, let us know what you are doing to prepare for the spring, besides going out and buying spring clothes. What you going to plant.
Let you know how fast the veggies grow.
Love you all,
Mom and Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Great Grandma and grandpa
