3-18-12 VERMONT: The mild weather continues. Today was in the mid-seventies, totally cloudless with no wind. Walking around the pasture this morning, there was absolute silence, except for one bird chirping. The forecast is for the same, warm and sunny, through Friday. The snow is almost visibly melting. The ice on the pond is beginning to melt around the edges and in thin spots. The Goldens are fascinated that there is water under the ice.
I did some clean up today, in shirt sleeves, and accumulated two cart loads for the compost pile. Robins are hopping about the lawn and finding worms. Flies are buzzing around. This is like May.
Val, Maggie and Lucy arrived at dinner time.
New blooms: snowdrops.
Woodsprite contemplating the work of woodpeckers.
Pondering the inexplicable, unfathomable relationship between ice and water.
Snowdrops popped open this morning.
