Today as I walked the nature trail we created around our landscape I became aware of all the damage to the trees and shrubs. The weight of ice and snow has snapped or cracked many branches. A lot of pruning in the Spring will be necessary on hydrangeas and viburnums to repair damage. Then a year of new growth will get them back into shape.
Also today as I walked our trail which is approximately one-third of a mile each lap I was in awe of how many different animals had left tracks in the snow. I saw deer, raccoon, coyote, rabbit, mice, squirrel, and then our cat's prints.
Nature has many wonders to offer in each and every season.

Rachel, I have no idea how I got to your blog and website, but I must say---wow! As I looked through the photos of your yard transformation, all I could think was how nice it would be to have a neighbor like you to "chat gardens". I laughed when I saw where you are----I moved from Freeport up to Michigan. I WAS not too far from you. Ack! Well, anyways, you have a very lovely garden. I'm starting a garden up here, and I don't know HOW you know where to begin!
Thanks for a great site, filled with lots of pics. They're very inspiring!
Sue
