It was a little cooler (ok, a lot cooler) this morning so we don't have the two feet of open water at the canoe launch today... but you can see how thick the ice is two feet from shore! At least the beach launch area is free of snow - finally! Mike and I have been doing a lot of walking, getting in shape for the season, and watching for signs of spring. The snowshoe hares are getting speckles of brown in their white coats, the crazy frittilary butterflies are fluttering around (how do they keep from freezing at night?), a few lonely pussy willows are starting to bloom, the martins are very active, and last night I saw something I'm not sure what it was ... just saw the hindquarters of an animal walking into the woods, about the size of a fox but grey-light brown black speckled fur and no tail that I noticed. Do you suppose we have a bobcat around?
