It’s been getting warm a little early this year, but I guess that makes sense because it’s been warm all winter. Our snow pack is about half gone and everything is gray and patchy. But! We got about 6 inches of snow yesterday and everything is fresh and beautiful now that the sun is shining bright.
That is a beautiful scene. I love the barn in the distance.
Thanks for sharing.

It’s been cold here in the Northeast with some freezing rain forecasted for tonight. Friday school was delayed due to ice on the roads. I hiked today and there was still some ice and snow in the woods. Still it was a good day for a hike.
I did find this gem. A seldom used hiking trail not far from my house that had many surprises. It was an easy hiking path and would be good for kids that included a beach, cliffs and forests on 2.1 miles of trail on a 700 acre preserve. I had the place to myself on a sunny Saturday albeit at 34 degrees.
