Yesterday we spent the day worrying about the plants and especially the trees, many of which were bowed under the weight of the slushy snow. I went out periodically to shake them off, which may or may not have helped; in any case, it didn't hurt.
Today the garden is filled with the sound of constant drips as the snow quickly melts. None of the trees seem particularly bothered by the snow, and only a few ferns seem the worse for the wear, although they were already on their way out.
I planted bulbs for next spring, which I'm sure I'll forget about until they poke through the last remaining snow drifts in March or (ugh) April, as we say goodbye to one season and hello to the next.

Fiction: The Metropolis Case
'It’s to the credit of Matthew Gallaway’s enchanting, often funny first novel that it doesn’t require a corresponding degree of obsession from readers, but may leave them similarly transported: the book is so well written — there’s hardly a lazy sentence here — and filled with such memorable lead and supporting players that it quickly absorbs you into its worlds.

A Note On The Archives
- I started this blog on March 26, 2009 and somewhat miraculously (given the technical difficulties) managed to import a selection of posts from my old blog. If you happen to discover anything zany while exploring -- i.e., bad links, crazy fonts and so on -- please let me know (<3 u)!
The Goddess looks like she's aghast and afraid of the snow. That, or she's cold.
