Look! Snow!
Monday, December 20, 2004I have been having conversations with the ground for the last month.
"Ground," I say, "Are you frozen yet?" And the ground says, "Well, I don't know...check my ruts." And I do. And generally they are still smushy.
Finally the ruts were hard, meaning I couldn't smush the tire tracks on the driveway anymore, a couple of days ago, and that meant I could finally cover the plants that require covering. So I got out lots of hay, and wrapped my plants...beating out a nice thick fluffy snow story that has now covered everything up by a day. Hopefully, the hay won't have made the plants even more attractive to deer...
And now the world is white. Well, white daubed with some grey and brown, black where the creek down below runs through the valley like a sparkly ribbon when the sun is out, with some green from the holly and pine. I should go make a snowman.
