You're lucky to get sunshine in winter! We moved here partly because of that - I was tired of dreary, rainy Oregon. But we've had increasingly cloudy winters. I miss the lovely blue sky & sun on the snow - so sparkly!

I really hate gardening because of back & knee problems - I'd rather sit out in the sun & read. 
A few years ago my husband made me a raised bed that I don't have to stoop over - it's waist high. He won't touch it, so if I want my herbs to grow I have to get out there & play in the dirt. Once the snow is gone & the wild grasses start growing, I'm out there most days harvesting bundles of fresh grass for the donkeys & bunnies. The donkeys have the same grasses growing in their area, but they really prefer the stuff I cut. If they see me cutting grass they stand at the fence and beg - very loudly!
