What did you do in the garden today?

[Sueby]

I work from home so I don't have the day off....unlike everyone else in my house.

Same here. The ONLY downside I can come up with about working from home - no more snow days! & I work for a school, so I used to get a bunch of em.

Ha ha... I said the same thing to my teenage kids. I told them COVID killed their snow days forever more.

I feel bad for the kids, honestly. My childhood snow days are some great memories - that's no longer a thing!

I would not be above telling the school our power got knocked out by the ice or something. We only get snow every 2 or 3 years so it’s a really big deal.

The school district I retired from is still allowing some snow days and also having some virtual learning days. Today is a virtual day. Yesterday was professional development or something. The previous 3 ice/snow/inclement weather days the kids actually got to stay home and just be kids!
Of course this was the storm with the most snow and they have to go virtual but at least they still get some real snow days.

Since our kids are in school, in person, full time (since August), we still have snow days here.

Our kids get no days for inclement weather so I give them a few days in fall when it’s really hot. The school can get over it. I take the day off and we just chill out. Play cards or a board game, maybe make a cold dessert for after dinner.

Snowy Garden: We have since shoveled an actual path

So, our run and coop back up to the barn, providing protection from the worst of the winter winds....USUALLY! But, that wind was coming and deposited a lot of snow into the run. The roof extends out 10 feet. The bottom step was completely covered, as you can see.

This is under the coop...it is really really protected, as the coop is about 2.5' above the ground and roof and walls everywhere. But, still - all snow in the entire run! Very unusual for this much snow to invade the run.

So, chickens they are! Scary Bad snow!!! Hence nice human keepers shoveled the run around the coop, and spread out lots of nice straw to make the snow less scary! I'll give you one guess as to who is the top hen (hint: she's silver and black and names "Sylvia").

Okay, seed corner done, chosen first seeds selected, if they grow and survive I'll expand my system. And now... a nap sounds really good.
