Since the invention of snow, these are the words that every student yearns to hear. They get to stay home, and I get to take pictures. I'll shovel when it stops.
Hunker down my friends you are about to be blasted once more. I heard you were suppose to get a foot. Ugh! I hope it will not stop plans for you to attend the Flower Show. Have a great time! Lona
Whoa, that is a lot of snow! I realize I'm a total winter weakling compared to you guys. I really hope you are spared the worst of this new storm, Jim. Stay safe and warm. :)
I have to laugh, Jim! This is my fourth year of non-teaching. Last year during a lovely snowfall, I called one of my friends who is still in the school system.
"Nanc, are you enjoying your snow day?" I asked her. "'Shady'," she answered. "This is Christmas break!" (Oh, how soon we lose track of things... but not the happy feeling of a "snow day!") lol
Dear Jim, I found your blog via The Idiot Gardener, and it's nice to see someone with so much enthusiasm. I'm horrified that the homeowners' association frown on greenhouses, that'd bring out the rebel in me for sure.
I never touched a plant till Pat and I moved to Cleveland from Chicago. Our house came with trees and trees and more trees. it also came with overgrown landscaping that hadn't been tended to for 15 years. Pat's always been the gardener. I love hanging out with Pat and I know how to use a shovel. Along the way I discovered a love of gardening. But first, We had to take 12 trees down and 40 dead bushes out. Hosta, ligularia, and sedum are my favorite plants.
Our yard is clay. Clay, clay and more clay. Clay all the way to the center of the earth. The people at the conservation district told us that " we're at the wrong end of the glacier". I nodded the nod of the intimidated and have repeated it ever since. We are true belivers in sweet peet and work in 15 yards every spring. Our back yard faces north and is a good 6 feet lower than the house. Most of the back yard is moist year round. Except for the north east corner, the yard is under shade or partial shade. The front yard is mainly sunny. We are in zone 5b.

Students aren't they only ones to cheer a "snow day." It would seem that their teachers do, too!!!

I hope you enjoyed your snow day as well :^) The snow is beautiful when it rests on your plants....
