Weather Changes

The last two weekends were warm and sunny, even got up to 80 one day. I finished moving a flower bed, splitting the perennials and putting in some new bulbs. Yesterday it turned to winter again with a new blizzard moving in. It started around 6 and by 11 PM there was a good amount of snow - perfect snowman snow- wet and heavy. So what else could I do but go build one. By morning he was listing badly and covered with a new topping of snow - perhaps I hadn't balanced him well, and he was so wet and heavy. We covered the woodpile to save it.  It's been snowing all day and is supposed to continue till tomorrow. We may have 8-10 inches or so at the moment. Pity the poor Halloweeners if it continues. I remember many a year trudging through snow storms with kids in tow hoping to get to just one more house before freezing to death.
