Happy Homemaker Monday *9*
Cold, cold, cold this week and windy too, more like Autumn than Spring ~ they are predicting minus temperatures later in the week. What a good idea of mine not to plant anything out in the vegetable garden (not really ~ I actually intended to but just have not managed to find the time (luckily)!!) :o)
