Like a lot of the Midwest, we had a lot of winter weather this past week. We went from balmy sunny days, to balmy rainy days, to chilly, rainy days, to SIX INCHES OF SNOW! We actually didn’t suffer too much from those six inches, but areas near us got as much as 12 inches, and some got more.
\nThis is not our first snow. In October we had enough snow to measure, but it’s been unusually mild since then. I had the best part of a week in mid-November that was warm enough to get most of the ground work done.
\nI was SO proud of how the gardens looked. Everything was neat and tidy, and not a leaf was out of place. I thought our visitors would be wowed at how glorious the herb garden looked. It’s said that “Pride goeth before the fall,” and that’s a pretty good description of my situation! *G*
\nSo, we have this glorious covering of white on our gardens, and a muddy, icy slash over the driveway where everyone was parking. Dear Husband cleared the drive with his snow plow, and I was muttering about it looking like a WWF mud meet.
\nThe sun was in it’s full glory yesterday, with light bouncing off the snow. The north side of the trees, and the shrubs have all been coated with snow. The view was exceptional, just not the one I had envisioned.
\nThe light today is almost blinding! I need to put on my sunglasses, and block my computer screen so I can see what I’m typing.
\nCold…..really deep cold is coming, I understand. I plan to return to exercise tomorrow morning, and I better find my heavy coat and gloves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
