gardening adventures

We got the garden in this weekend.....just in time for it to SNOW! I spent Saturday weeding and planting flowers in the front flower beds and cleaning up the pine needles... Paul tilled the garden. Yesterday Andrew helped me get flowers in the back beds and a few more in the front. Paul got all but three tomatoes, the peppers and eggplants and all the squashy things in. Both days we managed to get done before it began pouring.

This morning I woke up and it was still pouring, but it looked a little thick for rain. I checked the thermometer and it read 37 degrees...it really couldn't possibly be snowing. Could it? I decided I needed to wake Paul up and he got covers draped over the vegetables. Poor flowers have to fend for themselves - hopefully they make it.

I was amazed by the size of the flakes coming down so I snapped this with the cell phone through my windshield (no, I wasn't driving, stopped at a light - see all the cars in front of me through the snow)..
