Snowhio part three, and desperate times call for, well, you know

Snow poetically dusting the taxus shrub. When I worked for a lawncare company, the joke was that the two things you could always count on in an Ohio landscape were death and. . . taxus.
Yup, that's my street. The dirtier looking bit there.
Out the back door. Kind of pretty, huh? Look at that gray gray sky.
As for desperate measures--yes, you might usually have nothing but disdain for your big, fluffy, not so smart orange brother. However, when it gets really cold, you realize that he puts off a lot of heat.

  4. This may be a very strange comment, but... I like that shrub. It's very pretty, even under all that white stuff.

  5. A taxus is some kind of yew shrub. They're really hardy, pretty cheap, and you can trim them into different shapes! I learned a lot in lawncare.
