A Crafty Yarn

Around six years ago I posted about my amazing find of this seed starting greenhouse .  It has served me very well over the years!       We recently had a strong wind storm and the little greenhouse blew down.   It was an especially sad day since I had just planted all my seedlings.     Enter the new and much larger greenhouse!

AND here’s one of those beautiful days I referred to in my last post!   Less than 2 weeks after the ice storm and I’ve been able to play in the garden all day.   Today I got all of the raised beds filled and I built this smaller bed over the body of our storm shelter.   I have a frame to put over it so that it can be used as a cold frame in the winter.

Growing up in the North I’m very accustomed to snowy winters.   Since moving to the South I haven’t had an abundance of snow to enjoy in the winter but it’s totally worth the trade off when you get to have a summer-like day in the middle of what is supposed to be the cold season.   This was not that day!   Today I got to experience another sort of winter weather that Arkansas offers….an Ice Storm.   It has a negative effect on the power lines and the roadways but it is so beautiful!
