Can you perhaps write a blog post on how you set this up and where you bought the materials, etc? If not, no worries, I'm sure I can find out more through a google search. <br /><br />Wacky weather here in northern IL...we've had nothing but cold temps (30's, sometimes 40's) and non-stop rain. It's been so gloomy. Tomorrow and Thurs, there will be some snow mixed in with the rain. But Fri will be sunny and in the 50's; Sat in the 60's & sunny, and 72 and clouds and sun on Sunday! I can't wait. It will feel so good to be able to open the windows and let the fresh air in, hear all the birdsong, and feel the sun shining on my face once again. :-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-26079535520305965482017-04-04T21:25:51.396-04:002017-04-04T21:25:51.396-04:00I hope your seeds grow well for you and that your ...I hope your seeds grow well for you and that your nice weather is just around the corner with ours!!

You're not far behind us here in the middle south (WV), but on our walk just now, my husband & I were commenting how much drastically changed in our neighborhood in just the last day!

But I remember the first time I saw your blog, I think, was when you showed your late summer garden bounty spread out over your kitchen and it was gorgeous. I hope spring does come soon for you so you can get a start on it but Memorial Day seems a long way off. We've been know to have a hard freeze near Mother's Day but usually we can count on the last part of April being fairly safe.<br /><br />Your home inside looks so cozy after an excursion into the snow and Ice!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-47077070558522898012017-04-03T18:49:25.550-04:002017-04-03T18:49:25.550-04:00Winter outside...spring inside with your seeds and...Winter outside...spring inside with your seeds and pretty pillows! :) It's coming...Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-217782437846415172017-04-03T18:20:47.162-04:002017-04-03T18:20:47.162-04:00Oh it's almost here and it will be wonderful.Oh it's almost here and it will be wonderful.
