I was so excited when we finally had a stretch of warm weather these past few days. This has been a particularly snowy, cold, and dreary winter for our area. It is shocking how much the weather can impact your health. I have noticed that I have been a little more depressed feeling, since it is has been so cold and cloudy all winter.
My husband and I don’t turn our heat pump on at all–we use space heaters as needed to keep us warm. This, by the way, is a great way to reduce your electricity costs (in most cases). My most recent electricity bill was less than $75. Not bad! But then again, we can stand the cooler temperature in the house, and we have to bundle up a bit to keep warm.
Anyway, spring officially comes in just a couple of weeks, and I am so excited. I hope to plant my first vegetable garden, plant some flowers, and so much more. I will post some pictures once I get some plants growing. My mom bought me this neat little starter planter (like a mini plastic greenhouse), so I can start my flowers and veggies.
You can get the greenhouse things at walmart for $7, and I think it holds around 72 plants! Pretty neat. I have 2, and I will use 1 for my garden, and the others for my flowers. Buying the seeds and then growing them yourself is WAY CHEAPER than buying actual plants. I paid only a few dollars for seeds that will probably feed us all summer.
I can’t wait to do all of these things, and this stretch of warm weather has made me so excited. =)
