What does a teacher call snow on a weekend? A waste of good snow! However the little bit of snow that we got on Saturday wasn't enough for even a late start so it was kind of nice to enjoy watching it fall from the warmth of the house.
The wind was blowing as well so I didn't stay outside long. Just enough time to take a few pictures and check out what the greenhouse looked like inside with a snow-covered roof. Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' (Black Mondo Grass) looks like someone was a bit heavy handed with the confectioners sugar.

The contorted filbert is still holding on to some leaves. It's beegining to be a bit congested with little banches. I'd better do some pruning this winter.

I was hoping that the leaves of this Acer japonica would drop before our next cold spell. If they don't fall of naturally, they tend to turn brown and hang on all winter.

the snow is mostly gone now but temperatures got down to 21 F. (-6 C) last night but are supposed to be a balmy 23 tonight.

Evergreen all decorated for the holidays.
See amid the winter's snow a promise of new life!
