March came in like a lion I guess, or maybe more like a snow leopard. We got five or six inches of snow overnight. There was no wind involved as can bee seen by the neat little piles on top of each fence post on the east fence of the garden.
The grapevines and supports are covered in snow as are the trees in teh forest behind.
Here is my classic "tractor in the snow" shot. I tried to start it later to try to plow out the lane but wouldn't fire.
The west garden fence and snow covered field with woods behind.
We did manage to make a track to get in and out with the truck, so didn't have to call someone to plow it out. This is the lane beside the garden.
The lane going on out to the road.
The beehives covered in snow. The bottom entrances are all covered up here. I went out on Monday to clear these off and they were already melted off as it got up in the 40s that day. There were a few bees moving around in front of each hive then.
The bluebird house along the lane covered with snow. The transmitter on the other side of the pole is for my driveway alarm.
I saw this large bird flying across the field just west of our property and land in a tree. This is taken with a long telephoto lens so isn't very clear, but I am pretty sure this is an immature bald eagle with the head just starting to turn white.
Here's another shot with a little better view of the head.
Here a crow sits in the top of a soft maple tree on the west edge of our property. The large buds on the tree promise that Spring isn't far off. I'm ready.
