Hello there, Jared again. Remember a few posts ago when I mentioned that I was looking forward to re-invigorating the gardening portion of this blog, but we have to be patient here in the Northland because March and April are far too unstable for any significant outdoor gardening? Remember that?
Well, the past 24 hours are a perfect example of why northerners must twiddle their green-thumbs even while the April sun blazes bright and the frogs harmonize and the loons wail across the waves. We mustn’t be fooled.
Yesterday afternoon featured heavy rain showers mixing with high winds to create a stormy spring evening, perfect for a bowl of chili shared in a warm kitchen with friends. The forecasters were mentioning that overnight enough cold air might filter in to bring us 2-4 inches of the white stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year.
But this is what we woke up to:
And to top it all off, the power has been out since sometime before 2 am, so with the house getting cold and no cookstove to make a hot meal, we barreled down the drive and made it out to the highway so we could head into town. Oh, the adventures of the Northland.
