January dreams

While winter is never my favorite seasons by far, & I have to battle a lot more aches & pains in the winter. I’m torn between being grateful for the mild weather & dreaming of snow days . It’s Jan. Usually it’s bitterly cold & yet it’s been a mild winter ( means more bug battles in the spring 😒)
No I don’t think for a second it’s global warming 😂 idiots!
If they ever stop playing God, & stop manipulating the damn weather , the Earth Mother would have a better chance at healing herself & us.
Winter while not my fav. Is a much needed process & when that process is tampered with things suffer.
I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about gardening, last yr I couldn’t wait until Jan, I had things planned out ,& my work overload prepared . Then I added foraging to my life again. I feel like last Oct. My lil health scare reminder what ever you want to call it, it stopped me in my tracks! It made me reevaluate things. Last yr I dropped weight I couldn’t afford to drop, I’ve struggled to get that back no one ever tells women how fucking hard it is to gain weight the entire focus is always about being less not more! 😒
But gaining weight is actually harder! Especially when so much of our food system is the cause of my pain !
I love breads but in order for me to enjoy that I’ve got to start at the main ingredient 🌾 wheat! My body rejects your bioengineered foods like the plague it is! As long as I can get organic wheat berries & I actually start from scratch I can enjoy simple things like a sandwich, without it , it cuts my diet way down.
The point is I’ve got to work smarter not harder this yr!
I have to take my lazy gardener style to the next level ! I’ve got the ground work done, the boxes built ,the dirt hauled in , I worked on that last yr. So hopefully this yr it’s less physical/ time demanded of me. I’m incorporating even more straw!
While everyone is jumping the gun & seed starting I haven’t even got my seeds out to see what I even have left over 😂 I’m waiting just a tad bit longer before I let that bug bite me.
Part of my issue was planting just a tiny bit to early so this yr while I’ll still start all my seeds I’m holding out a few weeks. I’m looking at February this yr instead of January & I bet I still plant on time.
My point is I’m just not feeling that mad rush of anticipation, especially knowing a bunch of stuff I don’t actually need to plant mother nature is doing the work for me, I just need to go harvest it when it’s ready. Foraging will cut down on a bunch of gardening work when it comes to the medicinal healing apothecary side of things. I’m sure that gardening bug is going to bite me I’m just thankful that it’s not today 😂 because I’m just not ready to leave hibernation yet!
Bring on the beautiful blessing of snow ! & Let me dream a few more dreams before I enter the work overload & craziness of 2024
