Still some jet-lag effect on sleep hours after being home 6 days --- or is it today's "Spring Forward" time change? Lots of kidding by neighbours and family who say either "Why did you come back?" or "See what you missed?" This red-tailed hawk also came back to town early, but it snatched a live meal from a bird feeder across the street. I've been snatching home cooking like lasagna, baked salmon, muffins and pancakes. Gotta get our weight and muscle mass back!
Couldn't resist going north to check out The View at Kemble (after a no-choice brake job on the van). Mennonites still on wagons, kids still playing on ice. But the snow! Piles and piles left over everywhere. Deep drifts by the barn so the cars won't be out til May?!? The house is a winter wonderland postcard, but the pond is only a small depression in a white blanket. The snow is under-layered with ice on the deck and by the windows, so shovelling is like hitting rock under powder. No motivation there!
They say it's the heaviest snowfall in 20 or 30 years so no telling when the ground will appear again. What do the deer eat? Are the pond fish still alive in the dark and cold and thick ice? Dunno, but it's great to be back in clean fresh air on the spring brake.
