First Day of 2017


Woke up to a new year with a dusting of snow. Chilly end to the old and a frosty start the new.


The rock garden alpines seem to be loving this extra cold weather year we seem to be having.


I did manage to get some seeds down and cheers to a productive and prosperous new year.

32 degrees with an occasional snow flurry today.

Happy New Year!
Mark
