2013 + Seasons + snow

Winter can’t possibly hang on, it knows that… and each passing week it gets weaker ( teeny tiny pun there). Yet, until sometime in May we can get frosts. Recently we got walloped with a snowstorm here in Ohio and some of it is still on the ground today. I have taken lots of photos…

After Christmas day rains, we again had snowfall and the ground and trees were trimmed with a confectioners icing of powdered snow. It sifted down and clung to all the branches with little puffs in the crooks and crannies of the shrubs. Since most of that took place in the night hours I took no…

Just A Note

2009 + snow + winter

It snowed over night, and I woke up to the beauty of a world draped and trimmed in fluffy white. My son remarked how much warmer it felt with the snowfall, but we didn’t know why. Turns out Susan Reimer has done some homework on it: Snow actually protects the garden from the cold, and…

Winter dies hard this year, but I am hopeful that…

It is Easter Sunday today and the story in the garden is one of premature endings. After the freezing temperatures and intermittent snow, the spring blooms are burst and wilted.
