winter photos


A couple of weeks ago when we had the beautiful snow, I was too sick to get out and take photos. My sister sent me these photos of our garden in the snow. Thanks, sis!

The lake was frozen, too. This is a rare occasion in zone 7. We rarely get snow, much less a frozen lake. Maybe an occasional frozen mud puddle or major frost, but not this. Isn't it pretty? I think it is kind of a fitting tribute to the end of the Winter Olympics.

This is our garden, with snow on our electric fence. There is nothing new planted, yet. It's not that we don't want to plant. It's just taking a little more time this year.

You can't see our garlic, the scraggly leeks, carrots or cauliflower -- the only things left within the fence. In the herb garden in the forefront, a little lemon thyme is peeking through. The stems of the other plants are making a little snow covered tent. We may have more snow by Tuesday but after the melt we really must plant.
