It's a calm winter day today. The garden is a beautiful scene. We watched an immature eagle soar down from the high meadow to the river. He never flapped his wings, not even once, until he reached the river.Yesterday we got some new snow, and wind to go with it.The snow blew through the garden and erased any sign of tracks. The paths we require to get in and out had to be shoveled once again.
It's quite amazing to me the way the snow evens everything out, but then sometimes it leaves a hole for no apparent reason. Ed's footprints leading to the garden shed have disappeared completely until just before the door to the shed. Waves and ripples appear much like the ripples on sand dunes. Drifts appear in the most interesting places.Our inside gardening project for today is to order the potatoes. We like to order directly from a small potato farmer, Ronniger's. Right now we are playing a game of phone tag. When that order is done the serious seed shopping will begin.
