We just dug out from a second Nor'easter yesterday. We have had over 10 feet of snow so far this winter, with about 40 inches now on the ground. So, to celebrate, I decided to post these pictures and contrast them with the same scenes in the summer! Can you believe its the same place?! My garden is over there...somewhere! The arbor now... And in August 2016... What's left of the greenhouse! Here's the view from the middle of my vegetable garden... And from the same spot in August 2016! Looking down at the greenhouse from the top of the snow mountain! The view from the doorway of the greenhouse... Looking out the greenhouse door last June... And finally, here's my pride and joy again...a couple pots of heartsease and some mignonette. But it looks like they won't get any light here if we get another storm! Hopefully we won't have too much flooding when this all melts. But I can hardly wait for glorious Spring to arrive in earnest! :)

Wow! That is a crazy lot of snow! Suddenly, I don't think the six inches we have on the ground are so bad. ;) Thanks for posting the contrast pix as a reminder that summer will come again. Your arm muscles must be in top form from all that shoveling, ready for digging in your garden.

Yes, I do believe it is the same place. I am a former resident of Pennsylvania and we lived on a private lane with 800 acres behind us. Our nearest neighbor was one acre from us and the other was three acres. We had beautiful gardens all summer and in the winter, at times, our area looked much like yours. It was beautiful, but a bit rough during the winter snowstorms and especially when the wind blew everything that had been plowed right back over the area again. This will pass, as you know.
