I woke up this morning looking like this:
I am so done with the snow. You can’t even enjoy “playing” in it since it is like 10 feet deep. Even the dog is like, “Um, nah, I’m good, I’ll hold it for a while.” I don’t want to hear about a time to rest from gardening, enjoy the different seasons, blah, blah friggin blah. I AM DONE.
I must admit, however, there were three things that did occur today to lighten the mood just a bit.
First, my garden blog pal, who I worship like no other, Allan Becker, sent me a personal email including a blog post from last winter that highlighted a number of winter worthy shrubs. Check it out here. I am a monstrous fan of the Cornus ‘Arctic Fire’.
Second, that kick ass wife of my mine whipped up another stellar dinner. Today it was spaghetti squash with meat sauce. You can find a very similar recipe here. In case you haven’t tried it, the spaghetti squash is baked and the strands of the squash can be removed to replace the actual spaghetti. Bellissimo!
And last but surely not least, my daughter made me a picture as she is also fed up with this weather and is ready for spring:
She knows the way to my heart.

Hahahaha, that was a funny post. I hope you don’t look like a scary Nick Nolte. That is a lovely drawing by your daughter. Snow is annoying!
John, haven’t you heard? The Garden State is the New Antartica?
Ugh, me too! And here in NY,we’re getting even more, so I hear.
I love spaghetti squash and your daughter’s picture is priceless.
aloha,
what a wonderful thing to have some quite time from gardening to enjoy your family more during this timeframe, love the first photo you posted, made me laugh
Dirt Digger, you lucky man!
Cornus (simply all are favourites with me), decent hot food prepared by your loving lady, and some spectacular art work commissioned especially for you…….big smiles all around I think!
Hahaha…I have to thank you for the dose of reality…especially living in PDX now, people here REALLY have no idea what winter can really be like.
