About my foraging journal: I went on a hunt in my art supplies and abandoned sketchbooks. I'm afraid to commit to a brand new book and give up on it, so I figured picking up one that was already given up on once would solve that problem/brain block of mine. I'm using a notebook cover my mom or aunt sent me with this used sketchbook that lost its cover. It's cute and soft. I just started numbering the pages today. My writing tools are a favorite pen & pencil & pastels inside a cute caterpillar that I can't forget about. Added a new pencil to it today, one I can write with. I'm keeping my journal & caterpillar either in my work bag or on my dining room table so I remember to use it. For my garden plans, I use a larger notepad of grid paper. And I only just discovered that the backside is lined! 😱 I typically rip the pages out as I go and keep them in my garden bag. Hoping to hear about everyone else's journals! 😊🌞

More snow 😭 It wasn't a lot so I'm just being dramatic but the wind chill was terrible these past few days! It's got down to about -20°F so I stayed inside again 🥶 As neverending as winter always feels, this challenge to really focus and observe has helped stay me notice signs of life and give me dreams of spring 😊

Well I was able to get outside and walk today, we are still snow covered but it's starting to melt 🫠 I'm very ready to get outside and get more honeysuckle cleared up. I got a few rocks painted today so that's a positive ✌️❤️ my dragon MoMo woke up last night after a few weeks of sleep 😴 I'm now using her as my weather forcaster and taking this as a sign warmer weather is on the way 😂 because she only eats when it's nice outside 😂

Many many birds showed up yesterday! They must have known I was missing them something fierce and decided to come back earlier than expected. I'm a bit nervous though because it's been terribly cold for awhile and it's going to snow again this weekend. I think I'll leave them some snacks for the storm

I'm starting to really notice the differences in the evergreen trees here! The pines are so fluffy!! 😍🌲😂 there's way more spruce around, tho. Also, Alaska is finally starting to see more light! 🙌🌞 yay, February!
