A Large White Blanket Covers The Ground

okay, I guess my gardening efforts for the year are pretty much done. It has been snowing for the past couple of hours and there is already a nice, thick blanket covering all the unharvested leaves. We wanted to leave them out for the grandkids to play in (which they did and had a great time) but unfortunately we didn't get around to bagging them yet. It is going to be a soggy mess when we finally do get to it. I just bought some tulip bulbs yesterday that I was anticipating putting in pots for spring blooming. Guess that plan will have to be put on hold for a while. I am gazing out the window and while I have to admit that it is beautiful I still am so not ready to say goodby to the good weather. Oh well. What's a person to do....
