OK, it's starting to look as if we've finally gotten winter out of the way; it's probably safe to plant your onions, seeing as we've had the onion snow. I think it's supposed to get below freezing one last time tonight, so hopefully I can get my peas out of the basement tomorrow.
I'm still not sure whether I saved those irises. Their leaves are still green, but they're not getting any bigger. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.
In the meantime, on my way in this morning I could see the edge of the clouds. It was beautiful.
