1. There was seven inches of it on my back deck last night

Big beautiful fluffy stuff. It's gone a bit icy over night. We had a bit of thunder snow last night and I even lost a tree. I'm glad I didn't put my garden in yet. I was going to do it last week end but put it off to do today.

Stopped at a project site on Capital Hill for ten minutes than drove on back to Ballard by than it was hailing which turned to snow! What a day!

3. I was chided a couple days ago for not putting in my garden yet

I was "supposed to" plant peas in Feb. I asked the chider if their peas had come up yet. They said no, I said neither had mine. I'm waiting another week still since would rather have them germinate than rot.
