This is of the road in front of our house. Needless to say, it will still be a little while before I can do any outdoor gardening. I think that next year I may try winter sowing.

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks. DH said that the ice road was in terrible condition when he came home yesterday so I'm sure they won't be using it for much longer. Breakup is one of the more exciting times here. Nobody is ever quite sure what will happen. A lot depends on the weather and the tides. Last year it seemed like one day the river was covered in ice and the next day it was mostly open water with chunks of ice floating by. The year before though, there was a ice jam going out to the bay so things piled up a lot more - very exciting.
