When I find an item on sale or clearance, that makes me think of someone on my holiday shopping list, I buy it. Not only does this save me money, but it takes the “rush” out of December.

It has been FUN checking several times a day to see how they are doing as some of the seeds have already germinated and have popped out of the peat moss. I’m having surgery in a couple of days and know I’ll be looking forward to seeing their growth when I get home after being away several days. These little plants will save me money on buying bedding plants and at the same time give me an interest at a time that I will need some distractions.

I love your ideas on how to prepare for summer. Now is also a great time to get ready for next winter because winter clothes, vacations, activities, etc are practically being given away!
