If I shared a picture, all you'd see is white. We've had about a foot in the past week. I agree on the "should have killed" comment. I've been trying to replace my KBG/TTTF lawn with natives for the past few years by overseeding instead of killing and starting from scratch. I think I'm finally to the point where I have enough native grass that I can just water for the native grass and the old lawn will die, but I probably spent 2-3 times as much on seed as I would have if I had killed it to start. I think it's potentially even more of a problem in your case. I'm replacing grass that needs an inch or two of water a week with grass that needs an inch or so a month, but your new grass has similar water requirements to the old grass, so it will be difficult to favor the new and see it take over.

Sirlampsalot, yes you read that right, although i did not post pictures of that temp on gauge in garage i did post some near christmas when slight warmer, i found them for you to see. Gosh im glad we are over the hump now. Posted by dieseler CHG z5 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 22, 08 at 9:55 Here are some pictures of fig tree's stored in my garage also a outdoor pictures that daughter took . she took this one of my vehicle bumper, the windshied had a good half inch thick sheet of ice, i had a good scraper and had to actually chop at it after car was warmed for 30 minutes, when i tried just scraping i partially broke the scraper and it was a good scraper darn it. Few tree's in garage resting i never thought to take temps in garage always new it was cold though but somehow when i look at the gauge it seems colder now than before when i did not have gauge. I put some of those here from Dec 22 for you also 1 month later it was colder but did not take picture when gauge was at 7 but this is around the time we hit 21 below zeron outside and i posted some of those cold temps for you under last picture. Glad its over now! Posted by dieseler CHG z5 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 15, 09 at 10:53 The current temp outdoors is 13 below zero at 9:47am Thursday,todays high will be 2 to 3 below zero not sure what the low was last night, garage temp is 9 above with my tree's against the walls, first year gageing temp in garage but i dont remember it this cold outdoors since growing figs last 6 years and storeing them in garage. I think they will be fine though maybe a little dieback this year as they are my bigger tree's in nice size containers, a warmup soon next week in 20s they say maybe hit 30.

Ok, here's your quickie lesson on ISO settings. ISO was the speed that the photographic negative materials could handle creating an image at. A lower ISO number is used in bright light. So, with film, you might have bought film that was ISO 100 (or maybe even lower) for flash pictures or to use in bright sunlight or when the sun was glaring off of snow! 200 ISO is also used in fairly light settings - normal outdoor daylight for example. 400 can also stretch to normal daylight conditions. If you were shooting in extremely low light with no flash, you might have sprung the big bucks and bought film with an ISO of 800. Higher ISO films were also used for fast action. Take a photo of something moving fast with film ISO 200 and no flash and you get lots of blur. Take the same photo with ISO 800 and blurring was minimized. I believe they make(made) film with a higher ISO then 800 but it sure wasn't common. In the digital world, ISO refers to how sensitive the image sensor in the camera is to the amount of light present. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the image sensor and therefore the possibility to take pictures in low-light situations or to take pictures of fast action. So digital ISO isn't quite the same as film ISO but it works the same. Use a low ISO setting for bright natural light or flash and use a high ISO setting for low natural light or fast action. Check it out by taking the same photo using a variety of ISO settings. Your conifers in snow are perfect subjects 'cause they'll stand still and let you take all the pics you want, just like hostas do :-)

That is a metal head of a season lady. I forget what you call them. I had a book as a child that had pictures for woman representing Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. She has grapes for hair. I wired her on a Linden tree that was dying. For a while I thought of carving the tree but it was too hard and required skill. You have a good camera like Glenda; I can't get that close to birds. You got the texture of the snow. The area around my bird feeder is nasty and would not look good if I could get a picture. I am on my last bag of sunflowers seeds. They have gone through lots of seed and suet.
