As February draws to a close, we were just saying how many dead skunks there are on the road. You know, your driving along and …. Sniff sniff…. SKUNK around! The number of road kill skunks had increased this month. There will be an abundance of squirrels sometime during the year. I guess it’s a cycle.
February has been a strange month. This is our first winter up here and we anticipated SNOW and COLD. We really haven’t gotten much of either. We aren’t complaining! We have been able to get out to breakfast most mornings and what snow has fallen has melted rather quickly. As I look out the window the woods are snowless and brown from leaves. People still go out on the lake to ice fish - we see them every morning. I think they are crazy. The ice isn’t very thick, yet they are out there. There was a group of ice fisherman (or women, who could tell?) close to shore in a cove. Well, that makes sense in that the Lake is not very deep and therefore if the ice gave away, they could walk out. There were two people out a ways in the middle. One had a tent and is out there many mornings!! I know ice fishing is a big thing - definitely not a sport we are interested in.
Well, off to pick up the mail and drop off the trash.
