So this is it. The season’s first snow. In a way I’m
relieved because I didn’t get nearly as much done in the garden this year as I’d
hoped, but at the same time my inner gardener is screaming “NOOOOO!” and wanting
just a bit more time. From the look of things outside the window, it’s time to
dust the snow off the garden cart and store it away for the winter. If this
winter is anything like last year’s with no break until April (not even the
usual January thaw), it’s going to be a long one. Keeping my fingers crossed
for an early spring.
