Mine is mostly covered with the 5-6 inches of snow that fell yesterday. In
a few hours, while I'm waiting at the bus stop, I'll take some shots of the
stuff poking above the snow.

My veg garden is covered with leaves. We are having crazy weather. It
was 75 degrees last Tuesday. I may have to mow the lawn in December!
Last week I saw a light snow covering, but that was nearby, up in the
Cumberland Mountains where I hiked.

Go for it, the memory will keep you warm when winter arrives for you. It is
here for me!

mines covered in snow about 6 inches worth as well. been peeking through catalogues and online though to see whats new and what i might like to try for this coming spring lol. take care and hope u get some good pics .
cyaaaaa, sockiescat .

Mine looks tired and in need of rest. The leaves are mostly down and
it is beginning to look like winter. Blew off my roof today to just
enable the water to run off with excursions to the left or right.
Caught a flying squirrel in my attic first time in 35 years. Smacked
him with my Japanese hatchet dull side. This in the dark as I like the
guys and have worked on bird houses where when disturbed they came out
and released their bladder on me. Glue traps with trashing about at
3:00 AM and chewing on stuff made me more of a monster than normal.

Mostly, things are covered by damp leaves but there are signs of life.
For example I just noticed that the salmon-colored honeysuckle has just
thrown a couple of new flowers. An antique rose I'm trying to preserve
still has green leaves on it. And I saw some sort of very low growing
weed beside the front walk with a tiny yellow flower on it. I wouldn't
be surprised to see the periwinkle start blooming if this keeps up for
much longer. Oh, and I noticed that some of my ferns out back are still
hanging in there although the more tender ones like the "Japanese
painted" have died back normally. If I start seeing crocus and hyacinth
popping up I don't know what I'll do.

Mine looks like a moonscape. Looking forward to spring, though.

It's been warm and raining. The whole district looks like a picture postcard.
The grass in the field is a foot high, the horses are all fat and cannot eat
fast enough. The poppies are finished but the sunflowers and flowering shrubs
are good, the flower garden is in need of weeding.

Vege garden is looking great, artichokes just finishing, asparagus 5-6 ft high
waving in the breeze, eggplant coming on, tomatos growing like big fat weeds,
corn 5ft high and lush. I have more squash and cucumbers than we or the
neighbours can eat and the melons and pumpkins are fighting for territory.
The tree frogs have each claimed their own clump of rhubarb now that the
mating season is over.

I suspect the rabbits are breeding up too as Himself (the red kelpie) insists
on going out each night and comes back puffing. He really likes his MacBunny
Meals (TM). I had to kill a red-bellied black snake while mowing a few days
ago, sad but you really cannot have them round the house as visitors,
'specially kids, may want to play with them. I am still sneaking a few
strawberries as they ripen when I go out to work!

Where are you David, I may have to come for a visit. Early fall sounds
heavenly. Why no red bellied snakes? They aren't poisonous? Just bad
tempered?

Not early fall, early summer. East coast Australia, north of Newcastle.
Red-bellied black snakes are quite deadly but not bad tempered. We also have
eastern brown snakes: deadly, fast and bad tempered. It's a nice place but
you must have respect for the locals.

Very small elevated plot is has been inundated by Bermuda grass. I was
fighting it all season, gave up a couple months ago. Was self-inflicted.
Seeded the exterior border with Bermuda to keep the soil from seeping out
the cracks between the timbers. Giving the area back to mother nature seems
my only recourse.

Aha - that explains all - there is a red bellied snake in the US, not
poisonous and "one of the good guys".


Have a great summer!

We have red bellied moccasins, but no one considers them a "good guy"
around here!!

BTW, my "garden" is finally a soggy mess! It has been raining here since
around 4 this afternoon. The garden is also covered in hay and horse &
cow you-know-what, as we relocated the corral for a bit. Will use a
different area come spring. Glad for the rain, but would like to see a
bit of snow before winter is over. Very thankful for the rain right now
though!

Been watchin' the weather reports and maps for your region (NC), waitin'
for the rain. Lord, that was a long wait but I guess most of Georgia is
still waiting. I know your garden was sufferin' but how did it work out?
Last I remember, some of your plants were bouncing back.

Our rainfall here in Sonoma County is only about half of what it was
last year (about 4" so far I think).

We are also waiting for the snow. With any luck they will get a dusting
of snow up on Cobb Mt. in Lake County soon. Otherwise, it is a 4 hr.
drive up to Tahoe (major snow). The elevation ther makes some of us
geezerly flat-landers a little dizzier than usual.

Good to hear from you:-)
