Because the new iPad went on sale last week, they dropped the price on the old one. So Rick bought one for Catherine, then he had to have his own. And of course, if they both had one, Technogirl can't be far behind... so I got one also. And Buddy got wireless internet, so the farm has a hotspot now! Yay! Does it look like Rick is having fun?
So last Sunday (3-18), we were hanging at the farm, playing with our iPads, when... it began to snow. Ok so it was probably hail or slush, but dammit, it's as close to snow as we get here.
There was enough precipitation to put down a pretty good layer.
But we're not afraid of a little snow. We just went into the bar, and brought the heater. Hey, we have drinks, iPads, and interesting weather. What fun!
Because snow is a rarity, I had to take a lot of pics. It's odd to see the garden covered in snow.
There was snow on the fava beans.
Snow on the peas.
Snow on the blooming borage.
Snow on the firebricks.
Does this make it Iceberg lettuce?
These irises are just about to bloom.
Catherine and I play with the reverse camera.
While Rick shovels snow.
And Buddy throws snowballs.
Soon it clears up, and we head out to assess the situation.
The snow made neat patterns in the straw.
And coated the umbrella pretty thickly.
Buddy built a snowman.
Later the sun came out.
Although the storm was still blowing through.
Back at our yard, the favas are looking a bit beaten up, but they rebounded.
