February

This winter has had more snow than most, the roads seems slicker and most
of us are hankering for spring.

We've had some sunny days that have melted a lot of the ice. There are vast
ponds of water in the afternoons that become skating ponds at night for the
moon beams.

This last week the temperatures have gotten up to the low 60's in the afternoons.
There is green grass popping up in lawns and up on the hill tops. The cows are
out fanning the pastures in hope of finding a tender morsel or two.

The cowboys are talking about "Cabin Fever" or maybe its "Calving Fever"
if I listen closely.

Don't know if the prairie dogs saw their shadow on Ground Hog Day or not.
