Winter Loosens Its Grip
The swing back to warmer weather is slowly but surely underway. Nature is taking its cues from the sun’s return to the north; as you can see in the photo, the shift is dramatic. Back in late December, the sun rose well to the south, tucked to the right of the farm. Before long, that sunrise will move out of our direct view entirely until next fall.

Still snowing lightly this morning and it is supposed to snow off and on all day. The overnight portion was a little less than predicted, a nice refresh on our snow cover. The big news though is the temperature. Not over freezing but 27 which is close and well over the highs for the last few weeks. It almost feels like summer!
We have had a long stretch of cold weather this winter. Morning lows either side of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or even below and daytime highs in the teens. A few snowstorms have made the winter scene complete. This week is full moon and one of my favorite scenes is in view. Sorry no picture of it, the camera simply does not capture the scene.
