It's Magical Outside
The title words for this post are the words I woke up to this morning. It was insanely early in the morning, but Joe was right. Snow was everywhere, covering the ice that had coated everything yesterday. Magical. We don’t get to see the landscape so transformed very often here in Kennesaw.
After Joe took our old coonhound out for a brief slide around in the yard (her back legs aren’t very stable these days), we took our younger dog for a long, pre-dawn walk. Snowflakes were still falling, and no one else was out.
We’ve spent a couple of days at home since Georgia declared a state of emergency over the winter weather, and I’ve been contemplating the coming spring for much of that time. I’ve plotted the crop rotations for the year, put in my last seed order, and hovered over a flat of seeds so recently planted that only the lettuces are visible above ground. The tomatoes should appear in a few days, but the peppers and eggplants could be much slower.
I’ve also done a bit of small-farm research for a new farmer who came to the office on Tuesday, and I’ve been reading more about community gardens, permaculture, and agro-ecology. If it sounds like I’ve had a great couple of days, well, it’s all true!
In the news, there was talk of widespread power outages, so we have kept the woodstove going. Yesterday we had a pot of crowder peas (harvested and shelled out late last summer) on that stove most of the day; today we have vegetable soup on the woodstove, and I’ve made bread. Power at our house has stayed on, but a transformer “blew” up the street, leaving some of our neighbors without electricity for a while. Luckily, repairs already seem to have been completed.
For me, it’s been a pleasant couple of days, complete with garden thinking-and-reading, phone calls from concerned relatives (in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana), text updates from local friends, cozy moments with my pet bunnies, magical moments with Joe, and comfort-foods hot off the woodstove. I hope that other gardeners have also found ways to enjoy the break from their usual routine!
