3-23-12 VERMONT: Yesterday was another summer day, but today is only in the sixties and windy. The last of the pond ice melted about noon, and the snow piles are down to remnants. The weeping willow is making leaves as are several shrubs. The school of shiners in the pond appeared this morning, there are several hundred fish lethargically swimming around in a tight formation about the size of a basketball. When they warm up they’ll disperse. We also saw some crayfish.
Yesterday I set up the flower bed border guards, did some more fence mending, cleared the culvert, raked up the gravel that the snow plowers pushed into the yard and returned it to the driveway. Add in a little pruning and clean-up and it was a busy day. Today I only had to repair the cable from the satellite to the computer modem. Gus the dog ate the Internet yesterday.
NJ tomorrow.
The only ice is in the refrigerator.
