Haiku, heavy heaven, mourning doves, snow daze, snow peas, spring, Virginia
mourning doves hunker down
as night falls
will peas forgive this?
cypress leaning to the ground
heavy heaven sent
hinoki matted down
the sundial sleeps

I always wanted to experience snow…unfortunately when i was in England for a year and half it snowed only on one day…December 16….and then gone…..this is the part i was living (luton). But there are other parts that was blessed.
Love your pictures loved to see the birds enjoying…

Isn’t this crazy weather from here in the UK across to you in Virginia? We’re told there’ll be another 30 days of below average temperatures. Hope they’re wrong! We want to get planting! 🙂

My grandfather used to call any snow that fell after the potato fields were planted, “free fertilizer”. Maybe you’ll have bumper crops!

A prosecutor in Ohio is reportedly seeking the death penalty for the famous rodent who emerged from his home in Gobbler’s Knob, Pa., on Feb. 2 and did not see his shadow, translating to an “early spring,” according to his handlers. But Michael Gmoser, prosecuting attorney in Butler County, said Thursday that Phil’s inaccurate forecast warrants capital punishment.

I have been watching it on the news and talking to relatives in the midwest, it seems to be more than the normal last snow of March. Good luck with your garden this year.

Not sure. Planted my snow (ha!) peas on the 15th along with mesclun and radicchio. Gasp!
