I strapped-on the snowshoes Saturday and the girls and I hiked down to the creek to check on what I suspected was the situation. Namely that the creek had topped its banks and flooded the surrounding terrain. There was no safe passage to cross and there was no way I was going to allow the dogs to venture into the freezing, ice-jammed and swiftly-flowing waters. Yikes!
Stopping to check a couple of trail cameras on the walk home it was noteworthy that there was water actually flowing beneath the icy-crust in the trail.
Looks like the thaw has arrived. And I heard the call of the redwing blackbirds for the first time this year.....
