Did not go into the woods today.  It was cloudy until around 3:00 PM.  Did reach 45 but did not freeze last night.   The weather forecast is for rain and snow Tuesday evening into Wednesday.  We may get 4 inches of snow.  Then it turns colder with days not above freezing.  Welcome to March when the weather changes often.

Working outside in the woods gives you a different appreciation for nature.  You see and feel changes happening that you are not cognizant of when working inside.  In the morning there is ice.  As the sun warms things all of the sudden there is puddle where ice was before.  Clouds come and go.  Shadows change as the sun moves through the sky.  Dusk comes and night arrives.   And there are changes of wind, snow, rain, sleet.   At night its just dark and you can’t observer the changes as readily.  But you do see the moon.  It reflects brightly off the snow illuminating the woods.
