Gardening in the snow

The last few days have been beautiful! Ive been finding my moments to escape life and revitalize the garden. The plants have been shining under the blue sky.
Basking in the warmth of the spring sun.After an initial clean up, came the dirt.
Interestingly enough, today after a full morning of sunglasses and ditched jackets......It snowed.
Michael and I did a good job of ignoring it. You don't get to pick your days, and today was a child free afternoon.

So garden we did.
Through the initial flutters we continued our task. Most of the front beds got refreshed. Along with a long bed in the backyard. Through the snow we worked, and talked. It was nice to get some projects off the list. With the spring clean nearly finished, our conversations turned to Veggie patches, and the front yard's garden patio.
But one thing at a time. It has to stop snowing first.

The rest will have to wait for another day.

What a beautiful blog! Spring has definitely not arrived in my cold province of SK.

I can't wait to see more gardening from you :)
