Snow. Again. ARGH!

This is what was outside my front door yesterday, such lovely little daffodils. They’re about 4″ tall, they herald the arrival of the bigger ones. You can see the pink hybrid hyacinths are getting ready to bloom in the lower right corner.

And last night, we had some visitors, sorry about the quality of this, didn’t want to use the flash and too dangerous to open the door with them not eight feet away. Don’t let the cute faces fool you. These critters are vicious.

And finally, the reason the header for the website is back to the wintry one…

If I sound a little peeved, I am! By this time in the year, I often have a few starts planted in the garden already. I have packets of seeds ready to go in at the end of the month and at least some of the space in the veggies and flower gardens is clear and ready to go. Most years we manage to get a few potatoes in the ground by now! But this year, with all the snow, and rain on the weekends, none of the garden is ready for planting. I shall be late getting things started, but perhaps we’ll have a longer summer on the other end of the season.

    I can tell you that Hazel just loved seeing the snow again, and she was very disappointed that it was pouring rain by the time we had her ready to go out and play in it. She got a few tromps in and then had to come inside. It’s the sun, wind, rain, hail, snow combo that just cracks me up – pick a weather type and stick with it, Mother Nature!
    Hey, when do you have a free moment to get together?! We’re happy to drive out anytime except Wednesdays – that’s Gramma’s day.
