How Does Your Garden Grow?



A bunny came out to warm him or herself under the basement air circulator.


Ugh!


Warm temperatures Thursday caused glacier to slide off the solar panels. The temperature plummeted so the glacier is frozen.


The snow at the beginning of last week was light and fluffy. Himself took (the) Boat Anchor Samwise for a test run to see if he could plow through the snow. Here he is after plowing a path to the birdfedder on his way to the heating oil outlet. Way to go, Samwise! I'm not sure Samwise will be able to handle the 18 - 24 inches of snow predicted for my area with the big storm that has been sweeping the country set to arrive later on today.


Saturday started off with a balmy 0 degree F. Only 146 days until the Summer Solstice.

  1. Bad news. The wood strawberries that were in the containers likely dies. A thick piece of ice was formed by Mother Nature. Pic on Tuesday. Hope the others made it!

  2. Poor bunny! Sometimes even a fur coat isn't sufficient.

  3. That's one smart bunny. I'm curious to see what we end up with today. As of now they're saying 12-18 inches. But luckily it's fluffy because I'll need to do some shoveling. I hope you don't get much...maybe we can wish it would go outside before it hits...

    1. I tried that strategy. So far, it's not working.

  4. Love the photo of the bunny. Looks like you're going to get similar snow to us - so far about 8 in and climbing

    1. They changed the forecast for my area. Because of a wind off the warm(ish) ocean water at the coast, it will bring a jackpot area to the coast. However, the winds are strong enough so my area gets in the jackpot, too. 18 - 24 inches

    2. I think we're going to rip out around 16, so you win!

    3. I think the win is more like a Pyrrhic victory 😹

    1. Your love for Winter turned to hatred with having to shovel or getting stuck in a car during a storm, or losing electricity for a day or two.

  7. Hope you are ok in the terrible weather that has hit the US.
    I was visiting family today ... a rather wet day but fun and laughter was enjoyed indoors.

    All the best Jan

    1. The snow is piling up outside, but we're doing just fine. Sounds like you had a wonderful day despite the weather.
