I don't know about Mary, but here in Northern Michigan we are usually
buried under a foot or two of snow by this time of year. I've been out in
my shirt sleeves and picked some new radishes that had re-seeded
themselves. I've got blue and pink mist Scabiosa still blooming. So far
this has been crazier than last year's winter.
We got a small glop of snow last night. Barely covers the ground, but it
is so wet and heavy that my grasses are laid right down.
