Warm Colors for Winter

Another Christmas come and gone.  Mine was lovely; I hope yours was too.  Today is the day we put away our tree and restore the house to its dreary, non-Christmas-ness and I miss the lights and warm colors.  I need the bright colors in the dreary seasons, that's why I have such a vast collection of colorful tights like these Rust Tights from WeLoveColors to keep me warm and cheery.

At least this year we're having another little heat-wave just in time for the break and while white Christmases are lovely, I'd much rather spend the entire day outside working on my herb garden so it's ready for spring planting in just a few months.

There's always so much to do around here and by the time I feel rested enough from my other job, I find I'm out of time for the farm tasks.  That's life, I suppose, but I'm still working on a way of making the farm my whole job instead of just a hobby. 

I did take the initiative on one particularly nice day to haul and break rocks from around the farm and then use them to expand my tiny herb garden into something much more suited to sustaining a family both in food and medicinal herbs.   

I've been working on gathering all sorts of wild plants from the woods and roadsides that have medicinal benefits and bringing them to my home so that I'll always have a supply available.  In the springtime I'm going to to some more posts on these plants since they are lying dormant at the moment and enjoying their winter rest.

Until then, I'll just have to find ways to stay warm and occupy myself in my little house and fill my wardrobe up with lots of warm colors while I wait for nature's colors to return.
