March - Like a Lion

March began like a lion with a Nor'easter last Monday. We had close to 10 inches of snow and driving was treacherous. Everyone is ready for spring. This weekend there is a thaw and the driveway is rapidly turning into a sticky mud. I snow shoed around the wetlands and took photos of cattails. I won't be able to do that too much longer. It will be too wet and by summer it will be too busy.
I broke through the snow to the water below on my trek back and one of my feet got a good soaking. I removed my book and wrung out my sock then stuffed my shoe with bark. Later I used that bark to build a fire in the wood stove.
Tomorrow we are due another storm. This probably won't be the last, but everyone is ready for spring. I can sense the frogs getting ready to chorus beneath the slushy snow.
Other signs of life: more snow fleas, a stray lady bug in our bathroom here and there, a fly inside.
When I download some photos from the weekend, maybe I will post some here later.
