Then the snow got so heavy the poor witchhazel started to fall over!
So we built a little house made from a cardboard box and an old shower curtain.
Well it can't be too bad, here comes the mail.
And it looks so pretty, the snow and the autumn leaves out back by the picnic table.
But then...
It got so much worse...

It was such a bewildering and crazy time - even the forsythia bloomed!
