Welcome to the new year, Gardeners! I’m excited for the new year to start. We have a lot of ideas for content and good stuff to put out there, which I think is especially needed in today’s world.

As I write this, we are still snowed in here in our part of the world. We had unseasonably low temperatures coupled with snow that came down to the lowlands west of the Cascades, and we’re just not prepared for it. Between the hills and mountainous terrain and the lack of snow plows and other severe weather gear, the Seattle area really shut down for the most part. Since Omicron is on the rise and it’s not particularly safe or recommended to go out, this worked out.

It’s hard to believe that we’re coming up on the second anniversary of A Good Yarn – Craft Salon & Makerspace, our weekly craft circles. We’ve collectively made our way, literally, through the year, building friendships along the way. These will definitely continue on Saturdays at noon Pacific; drop me a comment below if you’d like to be included. I’ll need a good email for you; if you’d rather not put that in comments, please email me at noony AT acatherinenoon DOT com.

We have a plan for some new posts over the next three months. We won’t be back to our daily frequency, but we are dipping our collective toes in the water once or twice a month. Since it’s more than one of us, you’ll have some good content to read over the next twelve weeks.

And in April, you can look forward to another year of the A to Z Blog Challenge! We’re working on selecting a theme for this year; if you have some ideas or suggestions, drop them in the comments below. We’d love to hear.

Last but not least, if you haven’t joined our FB group, please come on by! You can find it here.

That’s all for now, Gardeners. But remember: make something, write something, create something. It’ll make you feel better.

Cheers!
