Today would have been a nice summer day to take a walk on a beach and feel the sand beneath your feet as you listen to the waves rolling in.

I have covered the soil in my flower pots with rocks trying to keep the chipmunks from digging my plants out. But my flower destroying chipmunks are rather determined and speedy. If they were slower like a Stegosaurus, I might have a chance to catch them when I hear the rocks hitting the porch when the chipmunks are tossing the rocks and flowers out. I wonder if this stone creature would scare the the chipmunks away.

Walking on the melting snow is rather tricky since it is very slippery much like these rocks along a river when they are wet. It is easier to hike on them on a dry sunny day.

The below normal temperatures yesterday would have made a chilly walk along the lake shore and it is not a lot warmer today yet. And you would want to be quick grabbing a pretty rock out of the water since the water temperature is only 37ºF today.

One gray day seems to roll in after another. The saying is that November is the gray month but December has been this year.

Sitting by a stream on a Saturday summer day sounds good right about now since I am tired of winter already and wouldn’t even mind sharing it with other people, even a rock family!

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, and when I think of Ireland, I think of green, rocky hills.

Like many holidays, the actual holiday event has changed over the years and St. Patrick’s Day has little to do with the Catholic Saint and is more about partying and green beer. And it is snowing so the leprechauns would freeze and need to dress a little warmer like a bear.

Earth Day is an annual holiday, celebrated on April 22, on which events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
In 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, the date proposed for Earth Day was March 21, 1970, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. A month later a separate Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970.
Nelson chose the date in order to maximize participation on college campuses for what he conceived as an “environmental teach-in”. He determined the week of April 19–25 was the best bet as it did not fall during exams or spring breaks and was late enough in spring to have decent weather.
You would think a senator from Wisconsin would know that April is not late enough to have ‘decent’ weather, especially since it is snowing very heavily on this Earth Day in Wisconsin.

Climbing the hills and rocks would definitely be more fun than hiking through the snow drifts. The snow, with the thawing, rain and re-freezing, feels as hard as rocks when you fall.
I don’t know if I could climb to the top but a young fox had no problem getting to the top to look down at me.
