nonelvisYou may recall that last Thursday, we got hammered with about 8" of snow. We were scheduled for a nor'easter today, but last night boston.com reported most of the storm was going to miss Boston, leaving us with only an extra 3-4" of snow. And while I'm aware that weather forecasts can change at the drop of a hat, usually a forecast from less than 12 hours before the storm is supposed to start is reasonably accurate, right?
Yeah, I had plenty of time to think about that while shoveling another 8"-12" off the sidewalk this morning.
Remember my lovely rhododendron?

... now looks like this:
... and the backyard ...
... I figure I might see again in March.
Oh well. Unpredictable weather is the price of living in New England. And my neighbor the construction contractor very kindly used his snowblower to clear our driveway, so I'm sore (again) from shoveling, but much less so than if I'd had to do all that extra work.
One more photo, completely unrelated to the others, just one I've been meaning to take for a while, because it's such a silly composition:
Cocktail squid: a festive decoration for drinks and plants alike.
