We have now lived here a year and a half! 18 inches expected this week. Usually I like snow, but right now we've had so much and I long for warm weather. I want to hang our clothes outside on the line. We have managed without a dryer, using two wooden racks to dry our clothes by the woodstove when it's rainy or snowy. I am eager to plant our garden. Our zucchini, tomatoes, beets and carrots did well. Everything grew better here in upstate NY than it grew in southern OH. I think the soil has less clay in it and stays moist but drains well. Last year, we planted 3 clumps of rhubarb, several canes of raspberries and 20 strawberry plants. I hope they all come back.
The little lamb I was calling Dotty passed away peacefully. She didn't seem to be in any pain, thankfully. We all had such hopes that she would pull through.
