Slow start

The weather continues to whipsaw between late winter and early spring here on the NCR.   Snow and rain are predicted both today and Sunday.  I would guess we are at least 3 weeks behind where we were at this time last year.  Most of that will be lost as far as the garden is concerned.  No early spinach this year.  As the years pass, I feel these false starts more acutely.  The number of gardening years left in this body is steadily decreasing and each lost week is one less off that dwindling number.  No matter, life goes on.
