I know what you mean about those late s...Hi Ellen,<br /><br />I know what you mean about those late season storms, though I'm sure that they're more likely in NH than here. Still I've seen plenty of late February and early March snowstorms. Yesterday I was out for a few hours and it really felt like spring.<br /><br />Your note about gardening reminds me that I need to inventory and order seeds soon. Last year I think our crops were particularly good because I got an early start on seed planting inside under lights.<br /><br />I did plant some mache in a cold frame in November. That was supposed to be too late but they did germinate. Only the size of a dime right now but I'm hoping that they'll come along as weather gets warmer.Ken Januskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984782169460110520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618025896103645633.post-68728433099109135622012-02-18T12:26:18.063-05:002012-02-18T12:26:18.063-05:00Hi Ken, I like your grackle sketch even though you...Hi Ken, I like your grackle sketch even though you said it was quick and sloppy. It looks just like a flock of grackles taking flight! We had a flock of 40 robins in our neighborhood this morning. I'll keep an eye out for grackles and red wings. I hear the latter are around. It does feel like spring, but wonder if we won't still get walloped by a snowstorm in March when all we want to do then is start gardening!
