March is here. The weatherman said we set an all new record for the fewest days in the forties in the last three months. There were only 5 days since December 1st that the temperature reached as high as 40. No wonder I thought it has been cold. The snow is shrinking and looks awful. I hope the new snow they are talking about remains to the south.

Last night Margaret came for dinner and we ate fresh caught trout. Joe has trout in the run with our flowing well. They were absolutely delicious. Notice the ever present snow.

Oh so cold! The air temperature was 0 and the wind chill even colder at dawn when I walked. The snow was very sparklely as the sun came up and the blue shadows cast by the drifts lovely. I saw three deer way off to the north. I heard several birds and hustled right back inside to sit by the fire. Keeping the bird feeders full has been an endless challenge this long long winter.

Well, yes, we had more snow yesterday. Maybe two inches, maybe more. It blew in from the east mostly which is different than all the other storms. They came from the north west. The old drifts which are still very much here are now covered with new snow drifted in a different pattern. It is pretty. Sunrise was beautiful with the sun peaking through lines of clouds and turning the new snow pink, but I am so tired of snow!

More snow came over night. There is about two inches of additional snow. It is very much like little ball bearings. Clearing the walk ways was easy but I am weary of snow and would like some sunny warm days. It was nice to visit Kansas last weekend and see some views without snow.
