Let The Sun Shine In......Week 28

The March lion who has been hanging on by his claws has finally let go.
The sun is now shining in places which haven't felt it's rays for months. We are spending a lot more time outside, wandering through the forest looking for changes that the winter had brought. A tree not far from the lodge bears a fresh scar, 30 feet up it's trunk. This gash is a mystery to how it got there.
New sounds are in the air. Constantly chattering squirrels appear everywhere, sometimes being chased by Ingram who is also feeling invigorated. Fat Cat ( Brock) managed to come out of the basement to air himself out and sit in the sun.

The melody of birds singing in the early morning is a welcome sign of spring. I almost don't want to turn the genny on and disturb the sound of silence.

    This is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the sun and I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time here. The cats also agree.

   While I worship the sun, Mike is more interested in getting out onto the water. It won't be long

    now till we start to go out fishing.

                                 Even the floation tanks under the heli pad are coming alive.

   Don't know what got into this guy but he spent the day sitting here and fighting off others who

   wanted to try it out.

                            It' been a long long time since we've seen the sun shine in the lodge.

   I had looked forward to witnessing the "supermoon" which was to appear last Saturday night.

I waited and waited but it was so low in the sky that it never cleared the tree tops behind the lodge.

This shot was taken on February 18.

Till next week from the "Outpost"
