A light snow fell off and on all day. It didn’t stick to the ground, but it was caught in innumerable spider webs scattered around the orchard and blueberry meadows.

Herb garden indoors
I’m trying to keep some herbs going indoors this winter. Here they have a lovely snowstorm as a backdrop.
Snow!
The first real snowfall of the season, on Election Day.
Hoophouse today
I’ve been frustrated by spotty germination in the hoophouse. Some things are growing lushly – escarole, spinach, kale, carrots. But others are just not where I’d want them to be at this time of year.
So I planted more seeds today, including in the vacant spaces left by the tomatillo harvest. Mostly spinach, but also some winter lettuce and ice-bred arugula. We’ll see what happens.
Also added some goat manure and watered. A very light snow – maybe sleet – ticked on the cover of the hoophouse while I was working.
New decorative items, gifts from a friend in Connecticut who is downsizing. A wind chime that looks like peacock feather eyes, made of glass, hanging on the right middle brace. And a decorative hanging pot just visible at the top of the photo.
Snowareness
Good Friday snow fall
A somber day marked by overnight snowfall, power outages, struggle to grocery shop during a pandemic, and a series of beautiful snow squalls.
I had to unearth my broccoli seedlings from burial under row cover flattened by pounds upon pounds of wet heavy snow.
I took too many photos of snow. I can’t resist. More photos on my iPad, will post them later.
A little April snow
Under the tightening grip of the pandemic, it stays peaceful here. Today a little light snow. Robust tomato sprouts will soon need transplanting.
Dusting
First snow of the year – just a dusting.
Whiteness
Snow is falling thickly and drifting off the trees periodically in great puffs of white powder.
I’m not thinking about plants or gardening.
I’ve been doing a lot of stitching, some drawing and painting, making some books, reading some books.
Walking in the winter weather. Taking care of the chickens.
It’s been a quiet, peaceful time.
When we return from South Africa in early April, it will be time to plant in earnest.
