Snow is beautiful, especially when you don’t have to shovel it
Today ’s GPOD comes from Sandy Shumacher : I’m from Bismarck , ND , supposedly Zone 4A. I gainsay that after 45 year of the demise of several Zone 4 plant . This is my first part to what seem to be quite a comradery among GPODers . I ’m hop-skip we do have a white Christmas since all of our former snowfall has melted due to gracious weather . Therefore , I thought I ’d share photograph from my backyard from last yr at this sentence .
