On the way to checking the beds after the main part of the storm has passed — a strange mix of fall leaves, green grass, and snow.
The beds shed most of the snow, and remain snug under cover.
As do we, even with the electricity still out.

Diary of a Tomato 
Nothing like a good woodstove to warm body and soul on a cold (wintery!) day.
