Snow!

by Susan Walsh

Just when I was getting back into the groove, an ice storm moved through. We had 50+ mile an hour winds and it knocked my DSL out for a bit. As I write this it is snowing! I love snow-it’s just not winter (or Christmas) without it! The garden looks so different with a blanket of snow over it. Before this blast of winter moved it the weather was so unseasonably warm that my petunias were still blooming. Alas, the snow did them in. It was a rather pretty and striking site to see the blooms sparkling with a dusting of snow though. Too bad I didn’t have my camera with me!

Now that the snowflakes are flying it’s time to settle into a comfortable chair and start reading all those pretty seed catalogs and gardening books. If you’re like me you’ve got quite a stack! For the next few posts the Garden will be reviewing some of the books and catalogs in my pile! If you have a favorite gardening book or catalog, drop me an email or leave a comment and let me know-if I can get my hands on it I’ll review it here.
