This is the first time I’ve dared to look since Saturday. We may or may not get a freeze tonight but it should be about the last one for this round and it shouldn’t be anywhere near as cold as it has been. I’ll take another inventory in the coming weeks to see how these [...]

It started earlier today with a bit of flurries. By late afternoon the sideways blowing snow took visibility down to the point where we had to slow wayyy down on the Interstate. The roads never really got slick (so far at least) but it was hard to see the trees off to the side of [...]

The currants are preparing to bloom, the blueberries already are, the blackberry and raspberries have a good 4-5 inches of new growth but no buds yet. The grapes are on about their third leaf.

We must have had quite a storm while I was gone last night watching the May Festival Chorus rehearsal. We have one medium sized branch in the lawn and lots of things were leaning in the same direction. According to the bucket sitting on the back porch we had over an inch of rain. Nothing [...]

A Big Wind

Less than 24 hours after the cold frame pic was taken it is missing its plastic covers. We had a heck of a storm lastnight. Our tv antenna (yes we still have one of those) mast snapped and our antenna is hovering about 2′ off the ground. The plastic covers that were fastened to the [...]
