By the lake
As it has so often these past days, the sky cleared late afternoon and the evening is beautiful. Karl and I walked along the shore until the sun dropped back into the clouds.

State of the snow
On seeing the photo from the last post of the field and lake, Marge asked if the snow was mostly gone.
March 31…it seems like it was just early January and I was looking at the two and a half months of winter to go – thinking that spring seemed a long way off. And now, only hours until April 1.
In the valley and even at my house, 100 feet above the valley floor, there is more bare ground than snow.
On our loop walk, there are plenty of spots for a snow loving dog to walk and roll in…
The home woods ground and the driveway are clear with only the piles of snow from plowing and shovelling.
It has been mostly rainy and dreary – good weather for cozying up inside with a small fire going in the woodstove. It is not done snowing here, but it will snow and melt and snow and melt and the day is not far off when I may have to get out a rake and do something about pine needles, pine cones and sticks.
