The white stuff

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Just when the hot, sunny days start to lull you into a false sense of security, mother nature strikes.

Woke up this morning to a whole lot of white stuff on the ground. How (HOW???) can it be 80 degrees yesterday afternoon and be snowing by this morning? I thought it had to be below 32 degrees for the snow to stick to the ground. Apparently not.

6:45am, me outside in my woollies (and getting soaked) trying to locate my broccoli plants and dig them out of the snow. Got every large pot, pan and bowl I own and covered them up before the weight of the wet spring snow completely crushed them. Hopefully it will melt later today and I can see how much damage has been done. I’m pretty sure my neighbors think I’m insane digging around in the snow first thing in the morning.

I can see this is just the beginning of gardening in Colorado.

  1. Love your titles. Very catchy :-) All that advertising experience has turned you into not only a fabulous executive but a superstar blogger. So much fun to read! If I'm a teacher next year, my students and I are totally going to follow your posts. You are inspiring me to grow some stuff. We'll see how easily the transition into marriage and the apartment goes but I'd like a porch garden. We shall see...
