The calm before the (snow) storm...

Yes, it's been unseasonably mild for December near Chicago. And the snow is sure to come.  And my Christmas decorations aren't finished and there are a few presents to buy and wrap and cookies to bake.  But who's got time for that when the seed catalogs are arriving.  Yes, I'm making out my first seed order but I don't have my Christmas cards addressed yet.  Bah!  Humbug.  Bring on the tomato seeds!
