finally some snow in the forecast
today starts off with some ice coating everything,
the trees, rocks and ... all sparkling in the sun and wind. still no snow on the ground, but later this week we finally have some snow coming. i sure hope so - never really know until it gets here on the ground. i hate going into this part of winter without some snow cover. otherwise, it has been mostly cloudy too often and not much sun. maybe ten days since September have had sunshine. it doesn't really bother me as much as some others. also starting to try to get out to walk more often when the weather permits - i need to build up my endurance now that my achilles tendon has had some time to heal. i won't be going until later after the ice melts off the roads. in the meantime i'm keeping busy enough with projects and stuff[tm]. :) i have a book to work through coming that should keep me busy for several weeks. songbird |

They're predicting a deep freeze this weekend, with overnight lows in the single digits, then warming up again next week. Paul North of Baltimore, Maryland |

Paul North of Baltimore, Maryland Northern DE, this is our second but first dissipated rapidly. This Sunday also required shoveling. That's enough snow for me for the year. |

When the rain melts enough snow to see the garden. It is green. Not with anything I want to eat mind you. With WEEDS!!! I have six gallons of vinegar waiting to pickle them, but it required dry ground or it won't work. So I have to wait for everything to dry out. In the mean time, the weeds keep growing. Dang! And show is forecast for Wednesday through Friday again. At least my favorite fishing won't dry out again this year. |

.... We have had rain then snow, then rain, then snow, then rain over the past two weeks. yeah, we've had rains, ice, melting, then we're back to some cold days again for a few with a warm up coming later this week. right now we have about eight inches of snow on the ground and under that is some pretty nasty ice that will need to melt before i'll feel safe walking around the house. i see enough mouse tracks in the snow along the foundation that i really want to get some traps put out before they start up again inside the wall. i haven't heard them yet - but it is only a matter of time if experience has anything to do with it... i would rather see snow and cold for another six weeks. too early warm weather is often a trap for the fruit trees or the strawberries. i'm just glad i was able to get up on the roof in between the latest rounds of snow/ice/melting to deal with the tv/internet antenna coming down. When the rain melts enough snow to see the garden. It is green. Not with anything I want to eat mind you. With WEEDS!!! scrape 'em enough and they go away. :) all that free worm food too! really though having weeds is a good sign that Momma Nature wants to grow things in your soil. even as poor as it might be that is much better than some places will provide...

When the rain melts enough snow to see the garden. It is green. Not with anything I want to eat mind you. With WEEDS!!! Have a close look at those weeds. Often the lamb's quarter(chenopodium sp.) and red root pigweed (amaranth) appear early along with upland cress. All are edible and tasty both in a salad or as cooked greens. When I was able to garden I looked forward to the wild edibles appearing. before planting time.
