(we don't get the freebies over here sadly) They have inspired me for a few years now. A bit pricey across the pond, but, full of wonderful information. I am most fond of Monty Don and then, Alan Titchmarch. Two excellent writers.<br /><br />Thanks Paul for commenting as you know I love your inspiration.Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-44745158417330320922013-02-24T14:13:26.082-04:002013-02-24T14:13:26.082-04:00Under all that snow there is so much promise.

I have a horrendous case of cabin fever and Winter blahs this year, I am in Ohio. Never had this issue before? and this Winter has not been any worse than past winters. So maybe it is because I am turning 50 this year? :) Does everything change like that when one hits 50 ?! <br />I can't walk the dog - don't have one and my kitty cat won't tolerate a dog in the house!<br />I go for some walks in our local Metroparks and that does help but when it is extra cold I have no desire to do that.<br />Crafts ? Oh, don't I WISH I were a crafty type!! I genuinely envy and admire those types! My mother was very crafty, so is my Aunt. I don't have a crafty bone in my body and I have tried all sorts of different things.<br />I read, I do puzzles, etc -- but --- you can only do so much of that and drink only so many hot chocolates and other wintry drinks.<br />Truely I am going a little bezerk. Nothing seems to be helping.<br />So I am on the internet, perusing, reading, enjoying other people's websites! in the hope that something may inspire me.<br />Keep up the good work please! for people like myself :)<br />Come on Spring.<br />(and yes, I have also noticed that now I'm older, the seasons go by extremely fast, it is very bizarre! but mid February to end of March is very tough now)<br />signed,<br />Winter in Ohio (help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! lol)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-15723417891927044222013-02-17T16:17:00.880-04:002013-02-17T16:17:00.880-04:00I truly wouldn't cope with all that snow - and...I truly wouldn't cope with all that snow - and yet it looks so beautiful, transforming the landscape I almost wish I was there.The bike shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195882998271591934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-68430749121096980102013-02-12T21:26:42.354-04:002013-02-12T21:26:42.354-04:00Surely did and more on the way (((((( Thanks for...Surely did and more on the way (((((( Thanks for commenting.Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-90067829247042728592013-02-12T21:17:18.557-04:002013-02-12T21:17:18.557-04:00I am here in Nova Scotia too.

Though, I must say, this year I am ready for spring too. Seems I just can't keep warm this year. (age maybe???) So that fireplace was looking pretty inviting to me! What is the average snowfall, per season, in your neck of the woods? <br /><br />Also, I just adore the bunny picture ... what a little sweetie!! <br /><br />So glad to hear you enjoyed your felting class.
