After a very warm, very snow free winter…we finally got a nice long two day 10 inch snowstorm.It started last night, here  the first few inches fall around the corgi topiary The  real dogs are in their glory, they love to romp around in the snow.The kids are ecstatic with the first snow day of 2012…..AND…..

The rabbits are  pretty happy too, shamelessly hopping around and eating my plants. Why can’t they feel my hatred for them  radiating through the walls and flee in fear???

I am happy for the garden,  and enjoying the beauty of clean white snow covering everything especially since although it is on the wet and heavy side it does not seem to be too much for the shrubs and trees to bear. Check out the girls “Gardening Guy” snowman here Pumpkin is checking him out….. Tig is not crazy about being outside when the snow is actually falling, he squints his eyes and makes funny doggie facesI used my  snow day to pot up  a few succelents  into a new pretty blue pot ( baby toes fenestraria aurantiaca , borros tail sedum morganianum and mimicry plant pleiospilos nelili) and mount a living teardrop basket/ wreath on a board( that I still need to add some paint detail to) for hanging on the new shed when the warm weather gets here. I did a little knitting on my second thistle mitten, and also took inventory of my seeds and made a mental list for what I still need to order and a contrived sort of a plan as to when I will begin my indoor seed starting.  I hope to still get around to making cuttings from the scented geranium in the background of this photo before days end. All in all a great snow day!

Hope you had a great day too, and if it involved snow, a warm fire, projects ,people and pets you love, all the better!
