Traction on the ice.

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

Down by my gate is a glacier that my truck couldn’t get through without chains.   I didn’t want to put chains on so I left my truck down at the gate and walked up to my cabin.   Today I took buckets of ashes down to my gate and sprinkled them all over the ice.   Now my truck is up at my cabin.

Buttercups and blackbirds.

Today on my walk I saw red-winged blackbirds for the first time this year.
