Snowtober Weekend: Sunday

Before…
After…

We woke up to snow covered sidewalks, lawns and roofs – though the sun was shining and it ended up to be a nice day.  I really wanted to get all the bushes I bought earlier this week on “super clearance” planted, but I had to wait until the snow melted enough to see the markers we had left on top of all our tulip and daffodil  bulbs.  After hauling 6 more loads of branches, tree-limbs and weeds, I had enough space to plant the rhododendrons, azaleas, viburnums and spireas – if they take, this will be a beautiful backdrop for the pond!  Had enough time to mulch all of the new plants as well.  Hoping that the weather report is correct and next weekend will be warmer and sunny – as we are still planning on planting another 1000 bulbs (yes…1000, for a total of 2000!)
(oh yes – also moved several loads of gravel with a wheelbarrow into the barn, to get it ready for the cement delivery soon)
