February Thaw

It was sunny and warm today, Well, warm is a relative term I guess.  It was above freezing, in fact near 40 degrees!  Enough to soften the layer of ice that fell on the snow a few days ago, and enough to begin a gradual thaw of the snow banks and cause little rivers of water to run down the road.

Baxter and I went for a walk today.  The sun felt so good and the blue sky was so beautiful.  The snow sparkled and the horned larks sang and Baxter ran and ran and ran over the snow covered fields. Though, it is a ways off, spring is definitely coming!

We haven't taken the Christmas lights down yet, because most of the strings are covered in snow!

Yesterday I dug a few carrots that are covered in straw and snow.  They are like candy, but I had to work for it!  It was not an easy task, to be sure, but well worth the effort.

And this is how the day ended....with another beautiful sun set.
