I tried leaving them in the ground with bales of hay on top to prevent freezing.  Funny results, it snowed so much that year that I couldn't find them to dig them up.  When I could see the row later, they were cored out hollow shells, eaten  by rodents, who also liked the nonfreezing environment.
A)  mark the location if not inside a building
B) rodent proof the container

Sells Hopi Grey squash and other seeds.  She' currently in MN,  by way of the southwest and MT.

I do were jewelry, but not very often.  I tend to lose earrings and wedding rings.  I'm thinking of getting one additional piercing in one ear to be able to use all the single earrings I have in a bowl near my bed side.  My husband still loves me even though I'm on my 5th or is it 6th wedding ring.  I thought you all might enjoy a pic of one brooch from my grand daughter for Christmas a couple years ago.  I think it goes particularly well on my beat up Carhart jacket.

Snow beautiful snow, wet or dry 12 inches or 3 feet I love snow.

I can only remember having friends help in the garden once.  We were having a summer party with a lot of old friends the weekend after the 4th of July.  I was still kind of awkward most were friends of my husband and their spouses. So, I said my minimal amount of small talk and excused myself to go mulch the rest of the garden.
To my surprise 3-4 other women came with me and we finished in record time.  I felt so light afterward, and yes before you ask, some alcoholic beverages were involved.
 I remember that year as one of my most productive gardens!

Are you in W. VA yet?  

Hey, red and blue make purple, and I know Rustoleum comes in red.  That's how my porch furniture got done up.

Go to an organic farming and gardening meeting, give the box of books to someone at the front desk, and depending on shyness quotient, either run away and have pre-written note inside box "free book from Permies.com", or actually tell someone what they are supposed to do with them.

Not much of a winter here in NH.  But pretty.
