It's been a pretty miserable winter this year. 21" of snow on November 6th that never went away, and then it just kept coming. Sub zero temps in November as well. Our blower went gunnysack, which I guess is to be expected after 20+ years of use. We got so tired of shoveling snow. We had to get a big front end loader out to widen the driveway at one point because the pickup plow couldn't throw it high enough to get it over the banks. We wouldn't have stayed home for the winter, but Ruby just wasn't up for a road trip. We didn't think she'd make it through the winter, but thankfully she's still slowly walking around. We dug a hole out in the pasture in case, but we would never have been able to get her out there and bury her with 2 feet of snow on the ground. It's finally starting to melt now and mud season is in full swing. We've still got a foot on the ground though.
I am enjoying my days out in the greenhouse at last now! I've got several flats planted and the basil and a couple flower seeds have sprouted already. It's so warm out there when the sun is shining - I love to just sit with the sun on my face, pretending I'm on a beach somewhere. It looks a lot better out there now then it did here:
