The Year of The Big Snow

2010 + garden chores + Garden photos + How's the weather? + winter

That is what I call the 2009-2010 winter. We have met records or surpassed them in snowfall this year. Listening to others I can tell I’m not alone when I say I’ve lost my infatuation with the snow. It would be different if we had bought the cross country equipment we talked about last August….

The ongoing saga of Winter 2010

2010 + winter

Today is a day of sunlight glancing off the pure white diamond crusted cloak of Winter’s grand performance. A day of long shadows and blue tones as the sun regains dominance over the sky.

…And Still It Snows

2010 + Garden photos + winter

I went to bed with snowy marshmallow views outside the window and woke up to a deepening snow enrobed world of Narnia proportions. As if winter will always reign. The evergreens branches are glued to their windward sides in awkward bows to the weight of the snow, recognition of the unseen Queen of Deep Winter…

My Ohio Winter

2010 + garden chores + How's the weather? + January + winter

It has been a snowy and cold winter, the present season broke records for cold temperatures. I like the picturesque snow covered landscape and several mornings I awakened to hoar frosts that transformed the garden into white traceries of laced branches and stems against the sequined, white velvet snow. The Cinderella winter season has given…

January- The Month of Two Faces

2010 + January

January, being named for the Roman god Janus, is something of a two way street in time. The name Janus means “archway” and he was a god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings [Janus. I sit and think of this pagan mythology early on Sunday morning. I, too, look backward and forwards at the…
