Seasons 2014 - The View Outside; The View Within

Last Thursday night a foot of snow fell upon us, and our backyard lit by a streetlamp looks much like a snow globe.  By morning, the trees were thick with snow.

Beautiful, but now challenging: Where to put more snow?  In all the years we have lived here, we have never seen the snow this high in our yard, covering the raspberry bushes and completely hidden in this photo are the cold frames under what is now 2-3 foot drifts of snow.

I am standing in a narrow path to the front steps, and behind me the plum tree is half submerged in snow.

The view inside, however, is green and warm.  Here are cabbages and Brussels sprouts, now transferred to small pots in the greenhouse. 

Here are tomato plants transferred to their larger pots.  All growing well, getting larger and stronger by end of February.

Need to get more potting soil for transplanting the eggplants later this week.
