Walkies on Crumbly Acres

I took a walk down to the frog pond. I hadn't been down there in ages, there was such deep snow. There were two things on the Spring To Do List: clean out the wood duck nest box at the frog pond, and set up the trailcam. Cinnamon came along for Walkies.



This old pine tree has had it. We'll see if it crumbles and/or tumbles. 

We have fun in the forest. I heard the owl, saw some owl mute. I hope she mates this year. These are both archive photos!



There are trees down everywhere. I can't lift them. maybe I'll get the reciprocal saw out. 


Back up at the house, he found a nice spot. I was working on Mamma Bear, and rilling bird feeders. Snow on Saturday, I'll wait to remove the plant coats. Plus it was below zero overnight.


The daffodils are beginning to show!

March 19th it was 21 ℃ and I sat and read out front! It has cooled off since then.

In the night, this mysterious orb was shining! One must admit to wondering what the heck it was, at first. 



The spider web is back on the camera! 
I hope spidey goes back to sleep. It is -10℃ this morning! It's only 16℃ in the house, as the thermostat has an overnight setting. I am under a blanket with my coffee, but the furnace is on!

And suddenly (well I've missed a few posts) the snow is gone! Glad to see the wet lands, and oh so many trees that are ready to return to earth! You toasting us with wine sitting in the sunshine is definitely a sign of spring. Keep warm when it plunges again (temps).

Yes, it did get cold overnight.

Looks like spring is finally arriving up there in the north country! Loved your critters from yesterday and looking forward to more trail cam videos and pictures!

Your snow is almost gone! Seeing Daffodils popping up is a sure sign of Spring!

Cinnamon is a cutie! I love the owl too.
The flower is beautiful. Take care, have a wonderful week!

Farmbeau gets all kinds of unexplained lights in his night photos. Maybe it's time he joins a UFO club -- or starts one.

That's still cold. It's warmer here today. I love the owl picture.

Your world looks really good. It's cold here today too and all week. So tired of it!

21 C is pretty nice but then it hit you again minus 10. But we love it.
