The temperatures spiked above freezing and with that came rain. The snow has been melting. The lake has a couple inches of water on top of a couple feet of ice.
We found some time to head out on behind Swansea. Once off the pavement the backroads turned to solid ice. We stopped for a short walk to a small pond. Lisa took three and sunk up to her crotch in the soft wet snow. It was imperative to pick your route.
Willow fetched sticks in the water. Barking at them, chewing and then bringing them to us for another swim. Her wire hair is about as long and curly as it gets. When she is wet she smells every bit a dog.

It looks like a good day. We enjoyed 52 degrees and sun here. More to come all week.

Had to laugh at that last comment about a wet Willow!
We’ve had better weather this month – very dry for a change, some pretty sunny and nice days (but only one at a time!) – the east wind we had for 3 or 4 weeks make it seem cold most days though…

Thanks Julie! I enjoyed your most recent post. Nice to see an update from Frog Pond Farm. Another week or so and I will be starting some tomatoes inside.
