 Spring locked in silence Ice storm's frigid aftermath Gardens shine in weep Sprouts become green popsicles Frozen liquid smooth . Chris Barker . we are in the middle of blizzard here folks and my garden was just giving birth! |

The garden will revive...I've been watching the weather...just when we think it's going to let go? It grabs hold again. I think April 1st is a little early, that's what I think! |

Thankyou all. I really do hope my sprouts in the garden will use this snow as a blanket and just go back to sleep for a little while. Hugs! |
