The snow is continuing to melt as well as the lake ice and in less than three weeks, the freighter ships will return to Lake Superior and this tug boat will resume its duties after its winter layup.

The warmer days and stronger sun is melting the snow but the sunset came too soon as there is still plenty of that white stuff to melt.

More critters seemed to be enjoying the sunny, warmer days as a dozen deer were digging through the snow for grass on the far side of the field. This evening some of them came down my driveway as they headed back into the woods for the night.

A flock of turkeys were enjoying the sunshine as they crossed the road in front of me. The tom turkey was the first to dash to the other side and I had to wait before the hens decided to venture across too.

The wind today made it feel colder than the 40 degree day, but the sunshine was melting the snow. And the week is supposed to be above freezing so the snow pack will continue to shrink down.

Mother Nature reminded us that winter is still here with the new big fluffy snowflakes, even if yesterday’s temperature finally reached the 40 degree mark which gave a little hope that spring was coming early like Jimmy the Groundhog said.

There was a new light coating of snow overnight, but at least the sun came out later in the morning to help melt the white stuff off the trees limbs again.

The frost overnight didn’t last long with the morning sun and the wind helped blow the frost off the tree branches.

More light snow flurries prevented seeing blue skies today and the flakes that fell means I get to shovel snow in the morning again.

Red may be one of the common colors for barns, but during this last cold week the cows probably didn’t care what the barn color was as much as whether it was warm inside. The red color looks good against the white snow, but to me the red looks even better when the fields are green.
