(Hey, they're both four letter words.)<br /><br />Much too early for such shenanigans for you; for us it wouldn't be abnormal, just annoying. I hope this stuff melts, too soon to stick for good. I know what you mean about the house feeling like a nest when it snows, yours definitely would be a wonderful nest, mine looks like a crow lives here who loves shiny bits (and other trash) and crammed it full of sticks and stones. Nest-like but not exactly House Beautiful....not like yours! <br /><br />Let me know what you do with the lilac now, I have such a problem figuring out the best way to prune those things....maybe Mother Nature has a trick up her sleeve for pruning?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-36647639826886059262011-10-30T09:16:32.787-04:002011-10-30T09:16:32.787-04:00After all the snow last year is this how the winte...After all the snow last year is this how the winter will be?

So sorry about your garden, but I hope things aren't as bad they seem now when the snow melts. I feel especially sorry for the kids who planned to go trick or treating. At least here in the south, trick or treating would be canceled....along with every other function.....in snow like that.

We had 2 of our old oak trees with big limbs down and broken. The arborist was able to reshape the tree and remove the damaged limbs so our trees will stay healthy and more importantly safe as they shade our patio. Hope the snow melts soon..Try to have a Happy Halloween..the poor kiddos trying to trick or treat might really be a trick!!

I guess it just needed a good pruning. We spent the day cleaning up the leaves, mowing, putting leaves on the flower beds after cutting everything back and putting away all the summer things.
