We certainly hope that we aren’t going to jinx the New York City area by saying this, but the weather this winter has so far been awesome! Especially after last year’s winter, which was one that made us want to move to a climate that didn’t have any snow.
We even have beautiful blue skies much of the time instead of the usual overcast winter gray. (Snow, snow, snow, stay away!)
We are SO done with you, Old Man Winter. You’ve terrorized this fine city of ours for months and now it’s time for you to leave.
Just look at what you did to Washington Square Park! Good day, sir!
We haven’t been able to see our Brooklyn garden since December 26th when it was covered by well over three feet of snow. Several more feet of snow has since fallen on it. This week the snow melted to the point where we can see the damage that all of that heavy snow did to it.
The rhododendron that we rescued a decade ago when the telephone company ripped it out of the ground sans roots, nursed back to health, and then grew a healthy umbrella of branches, now looks like this…
All of the branches have been torn away. This is a similar story with our azalea…
One of our conifers whose name has long since slipped from our mind is broken as well…
But that break might leave it in better shape than its twin, which is completely flattened and is still under several inches of snow.
It sure was one heck of a winter, and we’re glad that the worst seems to be over for our neck of the world, until next winter. But there’s good news…
The spring flowers are bursting up through the earth and the circle of life continues… TOTAL COOLNESS!!!
If those walls could talk, they would have one lengthy and rambling tale containing the memories of millions of people who have either lived, worked, or simply passed through that block.
Once considered part of the Lower East Side, now considered part of Chinatown. they are simply New York City tenements at their finest on a cold, yet sunny, winter day.
Despite the deep freeze and constant snow of the past month, sights like this make us feel good.
The lamest hog is off the road!
