As I finished up my winter yard work the snow started to fall again.
Looks like I got everything done just in time.
Insulated with straw, Ms. Parsley will winter over in her plastic pot nestled in an old dilapidated oak barrel.
The S.S. Sidedish has been mostly cleaned out and docked for the season.
Packed in the straw under an old window still grows mixed lettuces and spinach. See the milk jug buried in the background? It has holes through out the sides and that's how I water them without weighing down their little leaves with heavy wet droplets.
New pine needles and scrub oak leaves on the path to the shed.
It keeps the ground from getting all muddy when we shovel away the snow.
It all started in the spring of 2007 when I moved to Durango. That's when I checked Jim out. I was working as a cashier at a grocery store and he came through my line on my first shift in Durango. It took a few months for him to ask me out on our first date, but from there it was as if we had always known each other. He proposed by a small mountain lake and we were married 8 weeks later... Naked on a mountain top. A beautiful wedding just between the two of us, on a quilt under the sun at nearly 12,000 feet in the brillant blue sky. Now together we hike, mountain bike, trail run, motorcycle, snowboard and everything else you can imagine outside. We have stable jobs, a modest home, a crabby old cat and two knuckle-headed dawgs. We will never be rich in money but we are already rich in love and life. We are living the Durango Dream!!
