How Does Your Garden Grow?



The big weather event this past week was the Blizzard of 2026. Most of the area received a 12 - 18 inches of snow. Providence, Rhode Island, just 1/2 hour drive from my house got close to 3 feet!

I'm always amazed that during the worst part of the storm, the birds flock to the feeder.

"A" came to make a first pass. This was the measure I took after he left

There's an official weather watcher in town so the official snow total reported to the weather dude's was 12 inches of snow. The Snow Gnomes concur.

I was hoping to see the alignment of planets, but the trees blocked the view in the South-west sky. I did manage to capture Jupiter, the bright dot in the center of the picture. The glowing orb is the moon.

  1. I forgot to do a planet look. Thanks for the reminder. Your storm photos look like mine, except you did get more snow. At this point there is still so much on the ground that it doesn't feel like we could possible be in meteorological spring. Hope you get lots of melt this week. And happy March to you also CJ. And by the way, nice new background.

    1. Melt later in the week. Snowing again, now. Another inch or so. Snowing at your house? Bitter temps for beginning of the week before the melt. Background is image from a t-shirt Himself gave me.

    1. I hope you get a little precipitation, but not enough to make the weeds go wild

  3. Isn't the saying for March "In like a lion, out like a lamb." I'll keep my fingers crossed!

  6. Oh my ... that snow! I'm sure the birds are so appreciative of the feeders.
    Saturday evening sunset looks lovely.

    Happy new month of March and roll-on Spring.

    All the best Jan

    1. It's funny how the birds flock to the feeder when the weather is really bad.
