Saturday, March 12, 2011 Ice Out Ice out at the bog creates some interesting patterns and textures. I can hear the red-winged blackbirds trilling away on the other side, a pleasant sound to hear in harmony with the running water.

Friday, March 11, 2011 Ice Breaker Another day of rain today, another day of bailing out the basement. A late afternoon walk to the bog revealed some open water along with some red-winged blackbirds trilling in the bushes. Maybe spring really is coming!

Thursday, March 10, 2011 A Patch of Grass A picture of little interest, except that a patch of exposed grass is showing. It will be a while before the rest of the yard catches up, but it's a start.
