Besides pouring over seeds and plant catalogues, designing next years flower bed and updating your DG journal & want list....what else do you do to fight the winter blues and cabin fever?
I know Patti has taken up pottery again and im looking forward to seeing her work once she's on the mend. Ge paints, and beautifully at that I might add, but what else keeps you sane?

For me it's various projects, I have A.D.D. so I often find it hard to finish a task unless it totally captivates me. One of the exercises I was told is useful for concentration is to do crossword puzzels and jig saw puzzles. I started the J.S. puzzles many, many years ago and recently started doing at least 3 C.W. puzzles a week....well in the winter months anyways. I am to busy trying to figure out the PUZZEL IN MY GARDENS from May to Sept., then I just give it up until next year.

So what do you do? Pictures please when possible :)

I've finished 2 puzzels already. I start them on a Sat. afternoon and pick at it here and there. It was done by Monday ...that was one of the rainy/windy weekends we had.
