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 😂

This cold weather has me dreaming of summer foraging 🥹🌿 👉 Drop a picture from your camera roll in the comments of one of your favorite finds from last season - or tell us what you're looking for in the upcoming season! It can be: 🌱 A plant 🍄 A mushroom 🐛 An insect 🪨 A rock 🐍 An animal ✨ Something weird and wonderful 👇 What did YOU find out there?

Today's entry was more reflective, jotting down my current projects and the things I need to do next to complete them. I don't like how I can see through to the previous page, so I'm starting to sketch things out on the left pages. It's nice to have the time to sit and write and watch the birds. 😊🐦‍⬛🐦

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! 😊🌞
