Judi,

Fortunately we have had a few sun beams, and the snow is melting off of the boughs of the trees at least. Walked up to Mom's house for coffee after the last post, and found that the snow had taken down her 20 year old corkscrew willow... a bit of spring cleaning that we hadn't planned on. I hate this heavy wet stuff! Spent a half hour walking the yard knocking the snow off of the pines and evergreens that were being pulled down. Actual measure in the unprotected areas of the yard was about 10"+.

On the up side, I will get lots of stuff done in the greenhouse today, and we will have some large willow boughs to start for other areas of the yard. There's got to be a silver lining, right?

Dreaming of spring.........
