Winter Is Back.

4-12-13 VERMONT: Ques.-‘What’s prettier than a new blanket of white?’

Ans.-‘In April, just about anything.’

It’s foggy, freezing and icy. Icicles are hanging from the eaves. Now, the sleet/freezing rain is turning to rain, but will freeze again tonight.

The birds are swarming the feeders that I refilled this afternoon. A bunch of evening grosbeaks arrived today and have been picking the shriveled crabapples off the trees near the house. Robins were working the yard this morning before the new cover began to accumulate.


A new inch, maybe more, of 'wintry mix' that started as sleet and changed to freezing rain.
