Baltimore snowstorm--one more look

They are predicting warmer temperatures and rain on Christmas, which means the 22 inches of snow that fell on Garden Variety last weekend will begin to melt away.

Before it does, one last look at the garden in snow.

So many of the photos we published here seem to be black and white, or at least sepia. Here is a photo of the garden in the storm that has plenty of color!

And....

 

Plug it in!

This is my electrically heated birdbath, or as the Garden Variety children refer to it, the bird hot tub.

Well, it didn't get plugged in before the big storm, so it resembles the bird ski slope.

Susan, we didn't get our pond heater in place before the freeze, so I'm afraid our fish may be frozen fish sticks by now!

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
