Winter Thaw


The great melt has begun! After record cold March temps last week, the mecury is up and it was in the 40's and low 50's this weekend...that combined with some bright sunlight today made for a lot of melting. The ice on the pond is breaking up and the drive is turning spring soft. We saw some men out at the sugar hut down the road, getting reading to tap the Maple trees.
I snow shoed down to the first station of our meditation trail, down to a piece of wood that resembled an egret...which I had placed there last year after adding some wire to outline the Egret's head and neck. The sculpture had survived the weather and is till upright.
Today Daylight's Sayings time began early so more light now at the end of the day.
