Ice and Snow

I would gladly give away the ice and sleet for a nice foot of snow. Ugh. I fail to understand how it can be 27 degrees and raining/sleeting rather than snowing. I'm told that it has to do with the temperature of the atmosphere, but it still seems rather ridiculous.

Anyway, I was in the office all week this week. Monday we decided that I needed to put out a newsletter as a vehicle for advertising the vegetable conference next month, so I spent most of Monday and part of Tuesday writing articles for that. It turned out really well though. Hopefully it is well received and gets a good response. I also got to meet the Extension vegetable specialist on Thursday at Master Gardener training and we talked for a little while about some ideas for programming and outreach here. I also got signed up to teach a gardening class next spring, so I started putting together the presentation for that class too.

Next week I'll be in Manhattan for 3 days: 2 days of Hort agent training, and 1 day of meeting with another mentor.

I'm trying to write some Christmas cards, but I have found that I'm severely lacking in addresses for people. So if you think you might like a Christmas card from me, you'd better email me your snail mail address.
