Well Mitch in sympathy for all those w/ snow still on the ground the rest of us could post pix saying we have snow and freeze right now and continue doing so till you are free from it all.

Boy it's cold here,we had a freak snow storm last night!

Mitch my front yard little pond still has a big block of ice in it and this morning there is snow on the ground! Going to snuggle that fat Poppy on the couch cause I have been sneezing and slept with the window open last night.

 

[MitchM]

Yep, same here. We had below freezing temperatures and more snow this week.
I forget what pond water looks like.

This morning:

We are witnessing cruel and unusual punishment..............what in the heck did all you guys do to deserve this...................you must have done something really bad, come on now spill your guts...............that's what we are here for

 

[MitchM]

Ok



I'm not sure how that helps though...

Nope, pond's still frozen.

[j.w]

Ha Ha but didn't that make you feel better......................prolly not I'm guessing

 

[MitchM]

First sign of open water, over on the far edge.
Let's hope this trend continues.

 

[addy1]

wooo hoooooooooooo way to go, you are getting there!

 

[j.w]

Looking good for you Mitch! Any sign of fish yet?

I have noticed that no one is posting pics of spring flowers on your thread, Mitch. Isn't that nice of us all?! How awful, you keep getting dumped on with the snow. I agree with JW, we should all post pics of our yards covered with snow, to make you feel not so alone. As you say, this too shall pass, and soon you will have some green and colors going on at your house. Maybe you have lots of nice plants growing in your greenhouse!

 

[RobAmy]

That looks promising Mitch

 

[MitchM]

No fish yet, jw. I can still walk on the ice, so it will be a while yet.

Thanks CE. There are some tulips emerging against the west side of the building but the main garden is still under 2 feet of snow. I was even able to get out this weekend and rake some areas where the snow had melted.
Stuff is growing great in the greenhouse. You can see them in my aquaponics thread.
