Re: Snow

Cool site, Cathy. I'm bats about them, but Ms Fatma nixed a bat house. Said they give her the creeps. Too many Dracula movies, I guess.

Bats have pretty specific needs, which is probably why my first bat house attempt ended up occupied by woodpeckers!

I don't know - we had our first hard freeze last week and still have
mosquitoes.  Doesn't anything kill these monsters?

How annoying, it's supposed to be 80 degrees here tomorrow. I'm ready
for
cold truthfully. It will get rid of the gnats for a while.

We are having our first good snowfall today (there was a dusting a
couple
of 
weeks
ago that didn't really count).  Today was the day my garden club
decorated
the 
house at Lasdon Park & Arboretum where we meet.  The house, which is
not
really
open to the public, is part of the Westchester Parks Department, but
is
mainly 
used for offices and meeting facilities.  It was a wealthy man's
summer
home, 
built
in the 1930s in the style of George Washington's Mt. Vernon.  Every
year
we
decorate the main rooms before the annual "Friends of..." dinner and
other
park
functions. This year the tree in the main entrance hall is decorated
with
nearly
200 shiny metallic-paper origami birds made by one of our members. In
addition 
we have filled the spaces between branches with bits of white dried
baby's
breath
which gives it a very delicate, airy appearance.  That, with the
lights
and a
few
crystalline snowflake ornaments, is all, but we think it really looks
lovely. 
 We
used origami birds in some of the other decorations throughout the
rooms -
the
two fireplace mantles, roping on the stairway, wreaths on doors, etc.
The
snow
had begun to fall before we finished, and it really made a
picture-post-card
scene.
We hurried through lunch (always bring a covered-dish lunch) and
business
meeting so members could get home before the snow got bad, but I don't
think 
it is really going to amount to much.  Temperatures are  in the high
20s,
so
I'm expecting this to be gone tomorrow. I have been wrong before, but
hey, 
it's
really that time of year.
