3/06/12 STAYING VERTIAL; AND, SPRING IS HERE!

A PROMISING MORNING...

...BUT I GOTTA HAVE SOME FUN

BEYOND THE FRONT DOOR

SNOW-BIRD BATH

Tuesday, 8:30 AM.  36 degrees F, up ten degrees in the last hour.  Wind SW, calm at ground level but clouds moving gently at high altitude.  It is a partly cloudy day and the barometer is trending up.  It shows promise.
        It was a yak-track morning, the roads very slippery.  Buddy is very good about not pulling on the leash and will walk well at heel, he seems to know when I am having trouble staying vertical.  I saw the footprints of a long-legged runner in the frosty road this morning.  Someone who has not yet fallen and broken something that will come back to haunt him whenever the barometer hiccups. 
        This will be the last post for a while as we head first to Madison tomorrow for a forestry meeting on Thursday and then on to Texas and Colorado to visit kids and grandkids.
        Hope we have good travel weather.
   Post Script:  Lily at the Ace Hardware Store says bears are being sighted up on the Rez, and the sap is running in the maple trees.  Spring is here!  Ignore the snow!
