And the snow lingers on...

SNOW!!! there are still little ice chunks floating around the neighborhood, moored to the side of the street corners, mired in dirt and exhaust and looking rather worn and cold. Yet out of the sun (huh?)that shown down mercifully yet briefly today, and you still see the remnants of our recent white and blustery storm. Along the Cedar River Trail today, I still found quite a few big patches of it,tenaciously hanging on, reminding us that the weather is still just a little above freezing when the night comes down.

While out trying to reverse the damage of days made from being snowed in with tins of cookies to keep me warm, I ran into our resident photographer and woman about town, Dorothy. You have all seen her, she rides briskly around town in her electric chair trying to get as far into nature and her beauties as she can. Dorothy will be contributing an article/photo per month, here at The Picaroon, about life and what you can see/do along the nature trails. Yeah! stay tuned! I can hardly wait....
