A post about not much
I love the snow. Correction. I USED to love the snow. Right now snow and I, we have a kinda love hate relationship.
We’ve had 3 storms in 2 weeks, and tonight is our 4th. 6inches, 6 inches, 29 flippin inches, and now somewhere between 10-20 inches. The snowflakes are huge and falling, but they are not pretty to me. Instead, every one is currently another one that we will have to shovel. It may in fact be the on that pushes the tree over, or collapses the roof. Stupid flakes.
It’s a rather morbid Debbie Downer though process, I realize. And that’s when it occured to me. Let Go and Let God. Seriously. I mean, sure we’ll shovel the deck and the sidewalk and drip the water and do what we can, but at the end of the day if the trees’a comin down, it’s coming down. You’re certainly not going to see my fool butt up in that tree shaking it off (though I totally took a broom to it -bwahaha) At the end of the day, it will all work out one way or another.
And so with that, I’ll just enjoy power while we have it. I can’t say that my relationship with Mother Nature isn’t brusied at the moment, but for now I’ll do my best to enjoy the snow…you know, the ones that are going to accumulate and cause me to shovel another 3 hours…..oops. Well, baby steps.

Found your site thru P-Dub. First, the good side of the snow is we will have a beautiful spring. Snow not only brings moisture but helps convert Nitrogen to a form used by plants. That is why everything looks so green after it rains. You asked a question about soils. I suggest contacting your local Master Gardening club or extension office. They will probably direct you to start a compost pile. You can also Google it. In the meantime, many towns have a free source of compost and mulch – just ask your local extension agent. You can also use fertilizer from the store, but NUTTIN beats good compost. I prefer to use horse or cow manure in mine, but some people use chicken and sheep manure. The last 2 have 2-3x the nitrogen content though so you want to let it sit in compost for a while, or spread it in your garden in the fall. Contact me if you need more help. I use to live in OK but moved to KS when I married my husband. Take care!
