Spring activities

Well, the ice is turning black.  You could still walk on it, although you might want to quicken your step in some places.   I wouldn't frive on it , however, even though there probably is 12 inches or more in most places.








  
It was 14 inches thick last weekend when we were all out there riding bikes, skiing, and skating. 

Anne and I tried ice fishing a few days ago, but no luck. Of course there are few activities more mind numbing than ice fishing, so I suppose we didn't last
 more than 15 minutes.

 After all that effort we lit a fire and burnt hot dogs.












The deer are hungrier and skinnier than ever these days.  I guess eating twigs doesn't produce much fat. They come and eat our compost and bird seed, but that can't help much eaither.  Prety soon they'll be eating anything green they can find and they won't be quite so popular.
