Snow

Potager Angel was carrying snow today....
We have had a mild winter and remarkably  little snow,that all changed last night. I've been busy starting all my cole crops for spring inside just assuming there would not be a snow storm anytime soon. It  rained all day yesterday and decided to snow late in the night. This snow was extremely heavy.
It was so heavy it leveled all the 6-7 foot grasses which were standing tall.I'm not too eager to cut them all down this spring. We leave them up, so the animals have places to hide during the winter and add winter interest.
The 8 foot tall grasses that screened the Red Umbrella Garden are all on the ground....
I have Faith spring will be here soon....
We have to trim this Ornamental Cherry tree in our courtyard. It is getting too spacious and shading some of our plants, which need sun. It will flower in early spring and fill the area with magnificent scent.
Here is my project for this spring. I'm taking the bushes out near the road. I'm worried the deer will try to eat what I plant, but I'm eager to remove some of the old bushes.
She was framed in snow....
