Anyone who’s spent a couple of winters with me on this blog knows I go a little squirrely when it snows. This year is no exception.
Day 1 … Keep an eye on our poor rosemary bush
About 20 centimeters deep
Day 2 … This is after digging poor Rosemary out twice
Upwards of 40 centimeters
Day 3 … More snow
This was a few days ago. Now it looks like a skating riink
Day 4 … Rhodo snowcones
I don’t think they appreciated my glee at their predicament
Finally … Just so you know, I would never do this … really …
I love snow! Can I have some of yours? It’s so beautiful.

The best laugh I’ve had in days. Thank you!!! I could be tempted to create a maze of a path, if I were tempted to ever be in a place that cold.

(-: I’m jealous that you can overwinter your rosemary. I have mine in a big pot that I drag inside (now going on four years, I think) and I love the tiny little flowers that bloom in January. Sweet, yet they taste like rosemary. I tend to forget to water stuff, so sometimes we experience mass extinctions at our house, and I always feel a bit sad about that.

That Rosemary is immortal. It’s been burned to a crisp, suffered weeks on end of non-stop heat, been frozen solid, and now buried in snow. All we do is give a top up of compost in Spring and away it goes. 😀

I never knew rosemary was a big bush; I thought you grew it in a small clay pot in your kitchen window.

When we lived in an apartment in Vancouver she was an indoor gal, but when we got here to Widder Island, we stuck her in the ground and said, “Go for it!” … and she did!

I wanted a little bit of snow for Christmas, and your post supplied that in style. Here’s hoping you have a great Christmas …

Quite happy to send some your way. 😀 … there’s more coming down right now … probably another 10-ish centimeters worth. All the trees have their coating again. 😀

I especially love the back-flop the shoveler does at the end … reward for a job well done, I’d say! 😀

I’m tempted to do something similar in our front yard, but I’m afraid only the critters would appreciate it. 😀

This is an unusually long stretch of snow and cold in BC. Maybe it will finally kill the pine beetles. The video is hilarious! Thank you.

I hope so, but I fear it’s only a blip. I read the other day that we have this arctic outflow because the Arctic is 10-20 degrees warmer than normal, (whatever ‘normal’ is these days) which is pushing the jet stream south, bringing the (relatively) cold air into our backyards. Those beetles will just go into hibernation and wait for Summer.

Snow is beautiful (in manageable amounts! ) we haven’t had any snow yet but am hoping it snows at least a couple times this winter. That video was funny. Amusing how many people seemed to follow the path without really paying attention 🙂

Ugh, snow. Sean went out to shovel last night, and he went to move his car out of the way to snow blow, but then the car got stuck half in-half out of the drive way and it took over an hour to get it out (plus a kind neighbour’s help). What a pain. What a constant pain.

That would’ve been quite a workout! … I made sure I did a quick shovel of the driveway each day for that very reason.

Well it’s a little bit his own fault. He has a rear-wheel sports car that isn’t overly adept with snow.
Plus, he never learns!

Alas, poor Rosemary bush! I loved the video, by the way. I was surprised by how doggedly some people stuck to the path no matter where it went.

Now the snow is melting Rosemary is sproinging back up. 😀
Yeah, about those humans … what was even funnier/sadder, was that when they realised what was happening, some of them didn’t seem to know what to do next.

One or two literally went round in circles. I just hope the camera crew rescued them or they’ll be going around still. 😀
