Oh dear, Chelle. We had a terrible ice storm in 2009 so I know what you are going through. My heart goes out to you.

I garden for the pollinators.

Chelle, sorry about the power outage! Glad it's back on!

That is rough, especially when it's cold.
I remember a blizzard on the Cape, when I slept with mittens on and 2 parkas, with no power, so I sympathize!

I'm always on my way out the door..

We have propane heat, just no fan to move the air....so, it was an inconvenience only - thanks, all! I had filled large pots with snow and the most tender of our refrigerated foods, and they seem okay. Hugger, I don't know for sure (no TV news without juice), but it was enough!

The trees will cover their own bare spots. They still have plenty of other branches...and it's a gloriously sunny day today, and about 40 degrees! I'm thinking about planting this big box of newly arrived bulbs first....

...the sale was much more than I could resist!

You're amazing, Chelle. Welcome back to the world of electricity.

Chelle, do tell us what bulbs you got? From B&B? Irresistable, is right!!

Funny, got my B&B package today, too - more blue Anemone blanda , Rozanne geraniums, Natascha phlox (now, *why* did I only order one???) Eranthis and some Arum italicum. Maybe these will live.

I don't have any of the others, but I love anemone blanda! I ordered some more too, I think....from somewhere...

.....better go check

. If I did, it must have been in the heat of the sale frenzy....'cause I just remembered that mine are seeding in now.

I'm a mess!

All around my yard you can see dirty little mashed down areas of snow piles (bulbs are protected beneath, I hope). It's not at all pretty now, but come Spring I'll forget all about it!
