Tax season!

I've started my taxes today.  As much as this seems like a dreaded task, I am finding that every year I feel so good after they are done.  

It's a great way to see how much I have put in and will get back from our splendid government.

 

So....

...And here's to starting fresh in 2008!

I guess it feels more like the new year for me now. 

The spring tasks are starting up next week!  

I saw a few orange crocus's in bloom two days ago over in Fort Green which made me concerned but also excited.  

This weather is getting a little confusing, so I checked my past three years of calendars, they all confirm that the second week in March is when I began uncovering the beds with crocus and allium bulbs. 

The Farmers Almanac also forecasts mild weather on the horizon!  Last frost around the last week of March!!

Yesterday I went through all my tools, cleaned them up, changed the blades to new sharp ones.  I took inventory on fertilizers and pesticides, soil amenities, pots and accessories.  I'm starting to take over a large section of my basement.  The Brooklyn Planting office is getting full.  

Maybe after this summer I will be ready for a larger office with a workshop!  

Now back to the taxes.  This was just a break.
