| The garden & "pond" are buried.... |
The gardens are still covered, even more so now, with deep snow. We are ever so grateful for a working snow blower this year, especially after struggling to clear last year's record snowfalls with just shovels and determination.

Even the birds and squirrels seem desperate for relief. They empty our feeders faster than we can fill them!
However, despite the snow and cold, the leaf buds on the maple trees are swelling! The temps are toying with 40°F, and even though the groundhog saw his shadow, we all know spring will be here in just about a month!
I need to order some seeds!
