Cabin fever definetley in the middle of another snow storm here. They are calling for 10 inches of the white stuff, I told Biz not to send it this way, it took him a few days, but geesh, it's here already! LOL!

Back to work tomorrow, only had today off for New Years. Christmas was the four day weekend. It went waaaay too fast. Dreaming of what these seeds are going to do for next Spring and hoping and praying I don't do something stupid to the patch this year to ruin a good thing. I've taken notes, reading them over, and I have Backyard Giants to keep me busy this Winter for reading pleasure. Right now watching the weather to see just how much snow blowing we're going to have to do tomorrow and how early I will have to get up to leave commute time. Ahhh Winter! How many more months of this left? Give me a glass of wine over beer any day. LOL! Speaking of, off to go have a glass. None last night.

I cant believe you guys are talking about the king of seeds like that!!, you ought to be ashamed of your selves!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eddy, how dare you even think about smashing one of them 1068 Seeds! You will burn in hell for saying that,,,,LMAO!!!!!
I heard through a email that someone was practicing germination this winter, and the seed they was using was the 1068 Wallace!!! Bahahaha!
Just remember guys, the good Lord above is waching you and I dont think hes happy about you using the 1068 Wallace in vein like that! HAAAAAAAAAA!

I must confirm with Brooks, in Leviticus 26:16, God tells us that only the wicked will sow their seeds uselessly. He goes on to say, that if you continue to be disobedient that He will punish another 7 times for each of your sins. So that means that you will be hit 7 times for every one time you hit a 1068, and you will be planted and pulled up 7 times for every one time you plant a 1068 in the winter. It is not to late to turn back, send a 1068 Wallace to Brooks, and you may be forgiven of your sins! lol

I guess the above answers to question about my cabin fever, and the fact that it is 2:56 am right now doesn't help.

Around here we are throwing out mountains of political ads, watching endless political ads on tv, hanging up on several political calls a day. Then they went and rescheduled the caucuses to the same evening as our high school wrestling team's meet with our arch rival Monticello. Too bad politicians, but our son Jacob gets our vote Thursday!! At least it will be all over after tomorrow!!

Ok then, I can see I better go to confession. I'll be there a while.
I really would never hurt a seed, Man, I don't even roast seeds, as I think that a form of canibalism.

It must be terrible in Iowa right about now! Even those of us who are not in Iowa are sick of hearing about it.

Besides the politicians, we have to deal with the weather. 4" of snow, 1/4" of ice, 6" of snow, 3/4" of ice, 10" of snow, 3" of snow, winds and drifts. You would think that with all of the politicians spewing so much hot air our weather would be much warmer!

Cabin fever, whats that???
And I thought the short days of winter were a bummer. It must be a real bummer to be caged up in the house all winter.

Lisa, I would love to send you some snow. We have around 2.5 ft, and it is 5 degrees right now. This time of year I need to go over my seed lineup for 08, I have 5 or 6 slots and only 2 decided on for sure, too many good choices. The lineup changes daily!
Steve the key word is "yet" LOL

Well.. mostly I chat on pumpkin-chat, lol. Read pumpkin books, organize my seeds (not much to organize, lol), make ceramic pumpkin-stuff and... well... dream sweet dreams about GIANT pumpkins :) No snow here in Finland yet, can still see my patch, hope worms will take good care of it!
