Back to Winter.

3-25-23 VERMONT: I am reminded once again that  March, in Vermont, is a winter month. We came up yesterday in dry weather. Today was overcast, about thirty when we went to the dump with recycling from before. The roads are muddy, but without deep ruts. We got home just before it started to snow. 

The snow on the ground around the house is several inches deep. The piles under the eaves are huge. Both ponds are still frozen, even if the upper pond has softening around one part of the edge. The new snow has already covered the bald spots and dusted the trees.

I brought some firewood in the house and put lights on the new painting with Judy’s help. 

Not quite spring here.

The front porch.

Sometimes those piles under the eaves have gotten so high that they meet the snow on the roof, making the porch a tunnel.

The piles in back of the house are too big to get out of that door. The big pond is still frozen.

The little pond.

The new snow '...snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak mid- winter...'
