So much for the 'Blank Slate'

Our slate isn't so blank today. Here is how our house fared in the April Blizzard. Scroll down to see my optimistic posting about all the planting and bed design ideas I can't wait to begin. Those will need to wait a little while longer than I first thought.
These pictures are from this morning. There are still moderate winds and the temp dropped into the mid twenties last night, so the slush froze into these odd shapes.

One thing about the Twin Ports- It's hard to get bored with the weather lately. Winter can seem to drag on at times, but everything fluctuates so much that it's rather interesting. For example: We had about 10 inches of slushy snow fall on us amidst 50 mph wind gusts and flood warnings yesterday (Friday). The weather forecast calls for mid forties on Monday and mid fifties for the the following seven days straight!
