It’s warm and sunny here today and we have warm days in store for the rest of this week. I saw two ducks on the lake this morning on a patch of open water. Spring seems to be arriving early this year which is fine with me.

All of the snow we got last weekend sure is beautiful but it also did some damage. The side road I walk to get to the trail had yellow caution tape across the road with the warning, “danger, high voltage.” There was a downed power line across the road so I had to turn around and take a different route to the trail. Lots of limbs and branches were knocked down by the snow. Several trees were bent over the trail and one young pine had completely fallen. The sun was shining and the sky was blue making for a beautiful morning. Warmer temperatures this week will probably melt much of the snow. We have a cascade of snow on our roof going down to the porch roof likely to slide off as the temperatures climb.

It was a pleasant morning for my walk today.
