49 Degrees!

Imbolc                                 Full Wild Moon

Paul Douglas says we reach 49 for an average high by the end of this month.  Wow.  That will be a dramatic change.

Right now the garden looks as it has since roughly mid-December, snow covered.  Today well defined shadows lead back to a bright sun shining in a clear sky.  The squirrel that took up house-keeping or food storage underneath the snow outside my study window seems to have abandoned his effort.  A rabbit comes by with some regularity to eat our shrubs.  We lost a wonderful, mature mugo pine to rabbits three or four years ago.

Rigel and Vega come back in every day with snow on their muzzles.  These big dogs love plunging into the snow for voles or mice they detect.  Every once in a while, they score.

Business meeting time.  Bye for now.
