Winter Fun in the Greenhouse


Holy Cats, we've got SNOW!  After a sleepless night of listening to the wind howl, Luke got up at 4:30 am to go check the greenhouses and found he had to plow a path to get to the greenhouse.  Seriously, there is 3' of snow in the yard!  Once he plowed himself a walking path, he found the greenhouses in need of cleaning off.  Our smaller greenhouse, which, fortunately has extra snow supports, pretty covered in snow.  He and our friend John, who came down from Philly to help work on house renovations, worked for two hours to clean off the snow.  The second crew went out at 10 am and worked for two more hours cleaning the greenhouse off again.  With the heaviest snowfall to come this afternoon, we'll go out again just before dark to clean it off, cross our fingers and wait until morning.

Joseph and Elizabeth working hard cleaning snow from the greenhouse.  We use brooms to push up and break the snow loose, then it slides down to the ground.
