I think I'm overly optimistic.
On December 2, I wrote that my garden was a winter wonderland, and I posted pics of the virgin planting of our garlic.
All was green, and lush looking, and the weather was almost balmy.
I also have been nursing along five tomato plants in the lovely little greenhouse I designed with recycled shower doors.
Well, now we have snow up to my thighs, and the tomatoes are finished.
I picked all the frozen tomatoes off the vines today, and cut the plants off. I harvested about 10 pounds of nature-frozen little gems. I will make some sauce, once I find out a little more information about green tomatoes. ( I only know about fried green tomatoes) I don't think they will kill me, or anything, like rhubarb leaves ...
So our winter wonderland is really quite the wonderland!
It's sooo beautiful!!
I love it.
I don't mind driving in it at all, either.
Although I only drive when absolutely necessary, preferring to walk when I can.
The town is pretty much shut down though, which is weird since lots of places live with this kind of snow all winter. But I guess they are used to it and we aren't.
We haven't had a snow like this since my son was one, and I carried him in the backpack and walked the roads with only a footpath to get to the grocery store.
It was quite heavenly, and peaceful!
Just like it is now.
