His name is "Nos". The reason behind the silly name is when I told my son he was made from all vintage 1973 parts, he said (being a car guy) "Oh he's nos" I said "What?", he said "You know, Nos, new old stock". So that's the story behind his name. I will confess I felt a tiny bit guilty about cutting up and making a mint, in the box, vintage pattern, but I got over it. And I did have the good sense (for a change) to cut a paper pattern of all the parts before I put it together so that I can make another one sometime.
I have also been doing some growing! 
Here are my tomato seedlings! I am so glad they came up well. I saved my yogurt cups to start them in. I have heirloom Brandywine, Big Boy, and Beefsteak. I also have some peppers that are just beginning to come up too. It really gets me anxious for spring!
Hope everyone has a great day!

I am so ready for spring....to get my hands dirty....to come into the house exhausted and yell, "Has anyone thought about dinner yet? Let's order pizza!"
Beefsteak tomatoes - I plant them every year to honor my husband's grandfather . . . . hist favorite *s* I'm putting in some lettuce seeds today.
Better Nos was made up than forever being in the bag. I have some tomato seeds to sow too - that had better be No. 1 job today - I must clear a few windowsills . . .
Nos is a really cute little critter. Doesn't it maske you feel good when you can accomplish something like that? Just think, that little mouse was in pieces and stuffed in that bag all those years and you came along and gave him a life! hee-hee.
I am hoping to have a good garden this year but need more compost to accomplish that.
I have been learning about Lasagna gardens and think I will give one a try.
I am interested in the Brandywine tomatoes. Have you grown them before?
Just stopping by to send my love... I have been so busy as well..
Hope you have a great week
Love, Jess
