February as a whole was... fairly mild as winter months go, the temperatures for the first three weeks were stabilized at just below freezing and never really going below 20 much as lows go. The last week of the month began to show us above freezing highs and March was in sight!
But as February came to a close... it wasn't about to let us go all that easily. With only days left it dumped 18" of snow on the landscape. Considering that there was still snow on the ground from the start, this led to some fairly deep snow in the back yard. Then some more snow... and a little more.
When I woke up this morning this is the wonderland which greeted the eyes.
Such winter beauty comes once in awhile so of course I jumped into my boots and tromped through the back yards' nearly two feet of snow to get these pictures.
What are those white lumps all standing in a row inside this cage? ... those would be our blueberry bushes planted last year (which the deer kindly pruned for us) (leading to a newly improved welded wire fence that my boyfriend put up).
Note to self: Looks like repairing the garden fence has been added to the to-do list for this spring.
See ya next year Feb!
