Grasping for Spring

We were blessed with temps over 40 degrees today allowing Lex and I to take a walk through the local park where the Milwaukee River runs past the golf course. The warmer temps over the past week allowed most of the snow to melt away, yet the river still has a layer of ice in spots. Under the snow, in the distance, the green grass smiles as it soaks in the sun...if even just for a day. Another half a foot of snowfall predicted for overnight. Run river, run....while you can.

Horicon

Finally after 2 1/2 months of white.....the snows are starting to melt away and the temperatures are warm enough to enjoy the outdoors a bit more. Horicon Marsh is one of my favorite places to walk. I enjoy visiting it atleast once or twice during each season as it continuously changes providing new surprises for the wildlife as well as for me. It's really amazing to watch it as it changes it's attire for each seasonal event.
