At the risk of whining, the last few days haven't been the greatest anyway, and this just put the frosting on the cake! Some time in the last week or two, mice managed to get into my seed storage area and they destroyed just about everything! Sniffle! Including my Himalayan Blue poppy seeds that I was going to try winter sowing this year. What a mess, too. Seed chaff, paper shreds, mouse leavings...grrrrrr! The only bright spot is they also ate the castor bean seeds someone traded me and I truly hope that those are every bit as poisonous as I've been led to believe. Sorry, no mousey christian charity feelings here, even if it IS Christmas Eve. Oh well, I'm going to sweep everything up and toss it all into an open area come spring and see what comes up. Sigh. At least I still have a few flower seed packets that I'd stuffed into a coffee can and a few recently collected seeds that are still sitting on my back porch and a few in the kitchen...yes, they do tend to end up everywhere don't they? Well, I do feel a little bit better for having a place to complain, so thanks for listening.
