How Does Your Garden Grow?



Snowing across the Tundra


Birds flocking to the feeder like we run out for bread and milk before a storm


The female cardinal stopped by for seeds on the ground. Hi, Ma!


The red-headed woodpecker chased the other birds from the feeder

The condition of the roads was pretty bad


This storm started out with weather forecasters on Friday saying my area would get a coating to an inch of snow. Saturday morning totals were upped to 2 to 4 inches with some areas getting 6 inches of snow. A lull in the storm the measurement was just shy of 3 inches of snow.


The road not looking great


When all was said and done, a total of 4.75 inches of snow. Not that I wanted to see any snow, but this was the anniversary of The Blizzard of '78, the benchmark of storms in New England. With that storm I was still living at home with my parents. Our area got 30+ inches of snow and paralyzed the state for a week.


"A" came early in the morning to clear the driveway, cars, and walk.


It's wicked cold and a good day to stay in and hibernate.

  1. Wow! Those photos look like the art I've been posting on FB. You got so much snow! We are clearing rapidly here, but our north-facing patio is still a sheet of ice. -Divers and Sundry

    1. You need several days and nights of above freezing temperatures.
