Snow?

Snow in late March? Where did the snow come from? Well it did folks. It snowed in North Texas on March 20, 2010. Mark that down in the record books for the latest snow fall on record for this part of the country.
My prudent decision to wait before setting out seedlings and seeds was the wise choice.

The weekend of March 13 & 14, David and I did lay the first of the flagstone walkway. It is wonderful, gorgeous and awesome.
Tons and tons of sweat equity. The pay back is more than dollars saved but that true sense of pride and ownership.

Do you see the small white shed in the background? That is the home made temporary greenhouse aka "Bella's poltergeist" that took up residence in the pasture. The filmy white fabric did not hold up well under the weight of the snow or the gusty winds, so a redesign for next year is due.
Gusty winds and thunderstorms blew in last night, March 24, 2010 and we have mud, mud and a squishy yard with young helpers on the way. Tommy, Trip and Bill are taking a Friday to come help with ???? If it does not dry out, well they get to come play for a day.
Next post, I'll let you know what we get done this weekend.
Taming a new yard, taking it from a construction sight to a landscape is a slow process. Especially for us on a limited budget and the wanna be gardener who wants to do it right, not fast.
