29 degrees at 6:30 this morning, and here at 10:30, it is still only 33. And snowing! First thunder and rain last night, then sleet, and now snow. Living in the mountains, we expect mountain weather. I welcome the moisture in any form, though I suppose this means I won't be planting the potatoes today.
The garden is fine, even with the snow. The tender seedlings are in the cold frames, toasty warm.
Part of the garden and the cold frames lined up along the south wall of the house.
Inside, seedlings are doing just fine! The larger plants are cauliflower, and the small seedlings are
brocolli, kale, and brussel sprouts.
These garlic wont mind the snow much. They were planted last fall, and lived all winter under about 6 inches of mulch.
The girls, however, are not crazy about the weather. They refuse to go out their open ramp door.
I was going to do spring cleaning of the coop this week. That will have to wait a little longer.
These wild birds don't mind at all. I had to take this video through the kitchen window to avoid spooking them. I scattered some extra sunflower seeds on the table for them. Earlier, there was about a dozen evening grosbeaks here enjoying the feast.
Job 37:5-7
God thunders with His Voice wondrously,
Doing great things which we cannot comprehend.
For to the snow He says, "Fall on the earth,"
and to the downpour and the rain, "Be strong."
He seals the hand of every man,
that all men may know His work.
