What are those lil' white flakey things falling from the sky?

On the way out to let the hens out of the coop I saw and felt these lil' white flakey things falling down from the sky...even the hens were hesitant upon stepping out of Castle Chic.  I wonder what's going on with the weather.
Last year, my friends and I enjoyed snow-shoeing all around town but this year has been stingy prompting one of the shoe-ers to ask whether or not the great creator wanted us to exercise?
And who could settle such a question?  

Making trays of veggie seeds Friday MARCH 23rd 2012

Today we made trays and planted seeds.  Red Cabbage, Green Cabbage, Kale, Broccoli, Red Boston, Green Boston, Iceberg, Escarole, Parsley, Onions (Cortland) which were beside the Pac Choi that had already sprouted in the greenhouse.

Looking Forward

We are astounded at the continuing warm weather.  Of course, we're doing our best to 'get ahead' of this weather curve--the grounds and gardens are cleaned up.  The autopsy on the bee hives is that they never got off the ground...poor queens.  No more nuks from the better bee place!
It's hard to hold back and not start planting but it is ONLY 3/21/2012.  We could get still get a snow storm or dip below freezing for a couple of nights.
We are debating the number and types of poultry for the coming season.
So what's happening where you are?   

Tuesday, November 29th 2011 - 60 Degrees!

We have been having unseasonably warm temperatures lately.  It just isn't becoming cold enough for long enough.  The bears are still out.  We planted some bulbs for next year...they're thinking of sprouting now.  not great... hope it cools off.
