White Monday

According to the British media today is known as Blue Monday.  It is said to be the most depressing day of the year!  Looking in my garden it appears to be a very white Monday.  The snow is giving the plants a final rest and a blanket to slumber under before they burst up through the earth in the Spring.

I should really be using this time wisely and planning my garden for the coming year but I really cannot get motivated.  My mind is somewhat askew at the moment.  I want to make things and do things but my confidence is at an all time low for no apparent reason.

I wish I could capture that sunny day feeling and lightness of spirit that I must have had once upon a time.  Those days seem long gone now.  Spring cannot come soon enough.

    We all need sunshine Simone. We got off quite lightly with the snow until late this afternoon, when it came down hard and then decided to stay.
    So yes bring on the springtime!!

    The sun is shining here this morning after a cold night that has frozen yesterday's soft snow, it looks so beautiful and yet still makes me feel trapped in the house and longing for spring - it is just around the corner, waiting! When it comes it will bring back that lightness of spirit and creativity you feel you have lost. Take carexx

    I don't think any but the most ardent gardeners can make themselves plan for 2013 till it warms up a bit Simone. I hope your blue MOnday has turned into a more sunny Tuesday - it was rather brighter here today and I nearly (NEARLY!) went for a walk. But I spent too much time on line and then it was too late! Oh well - perhaps tomorrow as I'm not working!

    Snuggle up and keep warm and dream of what you will do in the Spring...and keep blogging because we are always here to listen. x

    Ah, bleak weather is depressing indeed! We also had snow last night and we're having bitter cold at the moment - not conducive to going out!! I tried to get started on a creative project today, but that soon fizzled out!! Let's all just cozy up and give ourselves a little break!! xx
