Although spring has officially arrived, we are being inundated with snow !! Another snowfall warning early this morning. I can't see anything beyond the tree line.We have another 6-8 inches since last night. YS was out in the hot tub last evening and so the top was completely cleared off so it is clear to see the snowfall amounts. [ He set out the gardening bench so he could place his ipad on iti and continue to watch a show while he soaked ! ]
Yesterday we decided to go to St. Albert to find some pants for DH. We counted at least 10 vehicles in the medians as we ventured forth ! I'm glad we went yesterday and didn't put it off til today. I"ll be hemming four pairs of pants - so it was a good day of shopping. Picked up two new tops for me as well.
Before this dump of snow, my tulips were up about six inches, the irises and day lilies were showing new growth and two hollyhocks were showing 3-4 new green leaves. Granted they are all in a southfacing bed next to the house, but it was so nice to see ! Hopefully the snow will keep them warm. We may not have had as bad a winter as the east coast, or even central Canada, but it has been loooong !! We are all so ready to see some green and get out into our gardens !
Food prices are continuing to rise and I can't see it changing any time soon. We need to grow as many vegetables as possible and process our fruit. DH found a unique project to build to increase our growing space vertically . I have found the perfect spot for it. We are also looking into keeping a beehive . Projects abound !!!
I've nearly finished the 'Rainbow scarf' . With this weather, I might even be able to wear it this week ! And it is a short week as we start our spring Break Thursday night. It is Book Fair and Parent Teacher interviews so it will be a long week. Funny how short weeks can be so long !
Housebound today, but that is just f ine with me !
