Snow Day!
Wowee, we got some SNOW up here in Philomath, OR! Inches and inches and it just kept falling out of the sky. I luckily didn't have to work yesterday, though my hubs had to drive to Eugene and back on the treacherous roads. As for Pocket, she mostly just played around.

Gorgeous Day - The Opposite
Who would guess that just 3 days ago I was going on and on about lovely, sunny 70 degree weather.
Didn't think i'd be seeing pretty snowflakes fluffing their way to the ground here at my little Austin Homestead. I am just tickled....white! White roof. Snowy garden. Pretty toadflax waving about out of the snow. Ned the armadillo is unphased, and the view to my neighbor's house has never been nicer.
On a gardening note, you may be wondering why i'm not covering anything. The citrus are safely shlepped back inside. The germinating mustards might be a bit peeved but can be easily replanted. Other than that - most of my growing things have been harvested and eaten, or don't really mind a blanketing of snow. Garlic and onions should be fine, the lettuce seems unphased, and the few other more tender things can be lost without great loss. 33 degrees and snowing is one thing - 18 degrees plus windchill was quite another. I'm takin' this one easy.
The husky doesn't seem quite as excited by the snow as i feel she should.
The chickens are sure curious and seem to like tasting snow.
