Maine Seasons: Hoping for Spring, Dreaming of Gardens

Have I belabored the length of winter enough?
Well, here is another sign that winter is too long.
I am listening to the Red Sox and Yankees spring training game in Fort Meyers, Florida, as I write this. If we can't be there we can dream of being there.
And if we can't have spring yet, at least we can plant!
Note the snow in the background.
And enjoy an indoor greenhouse.
Now we wait for sprouts!
At the store where we purchased this, the lady who checked us out said that many customers had been asking for two weeks for potting soil and seeds. So we are not alone in this pursuit of green.
Here's hoping for green to get through the rest of winter.

What do you do as you hope for spring?
