I generally like a soft, rainy day, otherwise.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-4636958814354118992013-02-28T03:07:33.563-05:002013-02-28T03:07:33.563-05:00Seeing the other replies makes me chuckle a little...Seeing the other replies makes me chuckle a little. I'm quite the opposite when it comes to dreary weather. Because I work in an office all day and previously worked in a lab all day, all I did was day dream of being outside and what I could be doing. The dreary weather days helped me focus because I knew I didn't want to be out there in all that nastiness.

I often turn to pinterest for ideas. But it sounds like you create and decorate a lot already! Maybe planning out your garden could be interesting. That way you can make a sketch for every year and look back on how it's evolved. Or there's nothing like a little "early" Spring cleaning. I've been meaning to get into the cellar but it's too cold here to even bother...ah one day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-57553107049793322972013-02-26T23:19:44.631-05:002013-02-26T23:19:44.631-05:00I've been in a funk, too.

I am also very unmotivated. :( I think it's the drizzly, dreary weather we've been having, and my kids are twiddling their thumbs, itching to get outside and hang out with their friends. I will be glad for Spring! I usually love the cold weather, and I still do, but I'm ready for some warmth and sunshine and pretty new things springing up out of the ground. <br /><br />Glad it's not just me! ;)Jennifer Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226977798225956746noreply@blogger.com
