I'm trying to think of any blessings to this time of year, the only one I can think of is "This too shall pass."   that's what we all said in the summer though and it didn't............ still it is only january and there is plenty of the year left and we have only just really started on winter..... i am sure that the weather will break soon enough and we will all be moaning about something else.... at least the bad weather makes us appreciate the subsequent good weather even more Back to top Kathy Site Admin Joined: 15 Jun 2006 Posts: 5351 Location: Scotland Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 9:52 pm    Post subject: I remember last year everyone moaning about the heat!

Even wandering about the garden noticing frosty cobwebs and tiny shoots pushing up through the earth is uplifting.   Just had a quick glance out of the window......still grey muddy sludge           Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Potting Shed Forum Index -> Live a healthier life All times are GMT + 1 Hour Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3  Next Page 2 of 3   Jump to: Select a forum Welcome----------------Introduce yourselfGetting to know you Chat----------------The potting shedOrganised eventsGet on your soapbox! In the garden and countryside----------------Garden and allotmentLivestock and petsGoing wildEnvironmental awareness At home and in the kitchen----------------Cooking and bakingPreserving and curingBeverages and brewsThe libraryLive a healthier lifeFamily lifeGood HousekeepingBe your own bossFrugality The studio and workshop----------------Quilting and sewingKnitting, weaving and crochetCard, paper and woodSoapmakingBead artAll Other CraftsCountdown to ChristmasThe darkroomThe workshopOffcut bin Miscellaneous----------------Forum help and practiceFeedback and announcementsForum calendarThe boutique  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group myff_thepottingshed3 style by ktauber
