Not Much But Still Beautiful

I woke up this morning to see snow falling outside.  The temperature is cold with no wind so the snow stayed on the leaves and on the ground.  Lucky that I’ve gotten everything I needed done in the garden before the weather got cold and snow fell.  We insulated our beehives only last week, good for us and the honeybees.  We also put up a cold frame for the first time this year and getting it in last weekend.  We weren’t looking forward to hammering poles into frozen ground!  We can now grow winter vegetables like Kale, Swiss chard and Arugula in there. I’m not sure how well this will work but I want to try growing hardier vegetables year round if I can.

Anyway the sight of snow on the ground, trees, leaves and flowers is a reminder of the omnipresence of beauty year ’round.
