Well, the weather people were right this time. It DID snow. Around here, it is always good to get more snow in the mountains. So this is a Spring bonus, top off before Summer shows up and dishes out whatever he has in store for us this year. Down here, we had a nice soaking rain which is really helping out the pastures AND my garden. You know that saying in child rearing circles... 'breast is best' ?  Well in the gardening world, especially here where we have to irrigate in the summer, 'rain is best'. Over the years, I have noticed a marked difference in the plants growing in the garden after we have gotten a good rain as opposed to irrigation. Turns out my observations are accurate... http://www.gardenguides.com/126494-effects-rain-water-plants.html I have peas coming up in the garden and a few scattered radishes, and transplanted volunteers that I moved into the beds. They are all singing and dancing out there this morning. But I didn't stop to take any pictures because there is a nippy breeze blowing off the snow freezer up there, so I snapped these shots and bolted for Bruce. Don't let that green grass and cozy looking woods fool you. It's COLD out there today!
