It's been a long hard winter for my family for many reasons. The hardest part was the illnesses, hospitalizations, and loved ones lost. But there was also a polar vortex that kept us buried under snow with temperatures in the single digits for far too many days at a time. I knew my family had had enough when my 8 year-old daughter told me she was sick of snow. That, my friends, is a sure tip-off that winter is no longer welcome!
My calendar tells me that
wood frog migration should be any day now. So do my daffodils:
Alas, my observations tell me that is not likely...
 |
| Much of the ground is still covered with snow. |
 |
| The lake out back it totally frozen. (So is the "frog pond" where they mate) |
Yes, the temperature the last two days has gotten into the 50's, but snow is predicted for tonight.
I'm hanging in for spring and hoping that I'll see those wood frogs soon!
How's the weather where you are?
