Well, well, well..........another winter month gone by, now we trudge our way through Spring Break-Up.  This time of year has always been one of my favorites.  Yeah, I know.......it's ugly, it's muddy, gone is the pristine white of winter, but at the same time it shows us natures' version of  "the ultimate hope," - the annual re-birth.  Soon we will see a tint of green when we look across the skyline as the birch, and willow begin to bud.  The lakes will turn black as the ice changes from a very solid hard mass of frozen water to "rotten" ice that with a gentle breeze can disappear in a matter of hours.  Soon, some of my favorite visitors, (waterfowl), will be visiting the lake that I reside upon.  Many will rest for a bit before continuing on with their migration, while others have reached their final destination.Read more
