neighbors

large and small

a squirrel

and a stray cat that liked my porch last fall

and over this crazy political weekend

when it seemed anything could happen-then-

nearby in quebec city horrific news.

we had new snow

which is such a releif.

today it's colder, feels again like winter again.

not like march.

my wheels from 1970 or so.

around the place

sunday we walked in the woods at the place i call home

marking trees

to harvest for timber and firewood

and forest health.

the forester was so helpful

we learned about canopy and sunlight

and winter tree i.d.
this man even helped us decide on which trees to keep
for seed,
a concept i hadn't thought of.

the solar panels have to be swept snow free

this is the stream and ridge the panels face

and the garden

right below

spinach and beets were harvested

and eaten!

this week, before the last snow.

hard to believe.
