Thinking

I am sitting At the car dealership waiting for my car to be finished only to notice the gorgeous morning this started out to be is now threatened with storm clouds rolling through.

In Houston it feels like spring with 70 degree temps. The beautiful new jacket I got for the winter temps has been worn twice this season. Therefore while sitting with nothing to do but think and blog, I am excitedly beginning my plans for our spring garden!!!

Last year we planted a variety of different pepper plants. Our focus was not on a variety of vegetables but on a variety of types. I enjoyed tasting the different types of peppers- I have a huge thing for spice and heat! Yet this year I am focusing on a variety of fruits and veggies. My goal is to plant what my family can consume and plant a variety.

This will be different from years past where I planted so much I couldn't give it away. This will be different from years past when we tired from eating the same old same old each day. This year- we go for newness each day. We go for cultivating what we can eat. No more waste.

As I sit with nothing to do but think my list of plants has begun! Come on spring!!!
