At last, it snowed! How lovely is that?
Plus, it almost disguises all the shit I left undone last fall.
Putting the garden to bed is such a misnomer--it makes it sound peaceful and sleepy, with connotations of warm milk and Dr. Seuss. For me, it's a traumatic event that forces me to confront all my failures as a gardener. I'll do anything to avoid that, and, fortunately, I have lots of excuses in the fall to help me avoid cleaning up the yard.

Ha Ha! So true, all of it. The snow is lovely and it does a great job covering up all the stuff I blew off!
