These pictures are courtesy of my blog from March 2008. I think it must have snowed a whole lot less that year...
This is my six foot tall fence that I can still easily hop over but can not open.
While most of my yard is burried in snow I am thinking about spring. I am thinking about what I will plant in my garden. I have a list. For veges: lettuce, carrots, peas, and onions are going to go in as soon as I get the snow off my garden. Maybe we will need to shovel it. I think I am going to start pumpkins and zuccinni inside. I will be planting tomatoes and peppers in pots on the deck where the sun can get them all year. I think I will try an herb basket and grow cilantro inside. We are also going to plant raspberries along one of our fences. Hopefully they will grow well.
I am thinking about Spring today. The sun is out and it is above freezing. Even the wind has stopped. I think it is about 47 degrees but the sun feels warm. I went on a walk this morning and I didn't wear a coat or snow boots. I saw some dafodils that were poking their way up on the south facing slopes. I thought I would take some pictures so that you can see what my yard looks like while I am waiting for spring.
This is the bare patches of dirt that exist mainly under trees where not as much snow feel. This is the most dirt I have seen in my backyard since January.

As far as flowers go I am still thinking. I think I will grow the big tall sunflowers against my house. I love those flowers. I am thinking about growing a sunflower tent but I don't know if I really will or not. I need some flowers in pots for on my deck. Does anybody have any ideas? I want a flower that will tolerate heat and keep bloomin over and over again all year long. I like pink, yellow, orange and red flowers. I love the shasta daisy's but so do the gophers that live in my yard. (This will be the year that they leave... I hope.) I also love lilies and have some planted in my yard. There are cosmos that will come up too.
I have my eye on a beautiful dogwood tree too. I guess we will see what the budget says and how much I actually get to plant. For now I am thinking, planning and dreaming of spring.
