Spring spring spring

For the past month, I've been drooling over garden catalogs, books, websites, etc. Luckily, I joined GardenWeb and found out about winter sowing. Sowing seeds in covered containers and setting 'em outside to sprout when they're ready. I have complete faith (usually) that all the dozens of containers that I've sown are going to show some green eventually and I will be able to FILL my yard with so many flowers. So I'm in a gardening frenzy right now. I started a worm bin to compost kitchen scraps. They are pretty neat, and not as gross as I would have thought. I still am not super into touching them yet though. Also collecting coffee grounds from Starbucks (only found one so far that is putting them out already) for my new lasagna beds.
Another exciting bit of news is that I may have an adoption match. A 7 yr old boy with not too many problems, available (almost), everybody thinks it would be good. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high though. No idea about timeframe yet, as a former foster parent is trying to get him. Supposedly, chances are slim to none that she has any chance, but I wasn't told any of the circumstances. So just keeping my fingers and toes crossed this time.
