My husband I are new gardeners attempting to transform the gardens of our first home. We live in a log cabin on +10 acres of woods. With the help of my husband's parents aka Garden Maven we have been able to lay out trails and choose plants. Everyone needs a little help now and then so this blog has been created as a personal reference for gardening in South West New Hampshire.

Winter Ice Storm





During the week of 1/15/07 we experienced an ice storm that covered everything in a thick layer of ice. The ice was so heavy it caused trees to bow to the ground. On a drive to Keene the light would shine through the glassy trees creating a kaleidescope effect. I truly was a frightening but fascinating winter wonderland.

Our neighbor's tree fell on the power line. We lost power, heat, and water for several days during the below freezing temperatures. Sammy, Gracey, and I cuddled on the couch to keep each other warm. Aaron was out of town. Lucky him!
