Update

From our walk today there was this.

A tamarack with two stems that has grown into a living, intertwined, corkscrew.  A bizzare freak of nature - yet possibly a palette from which something might be made.

Gotta think about that.

Also have been finding tufts of whitetail deer hair all over the forest floor.  Evidence that they're beginning a molt of the thick outer grey guard hairs that constituted their winter camouflage.  Soon the deer will switch into their ruddy, roan red coats of the warmer months.


And the the afternoon brought a sudden, short, sockdolager of a storm complete with thunder, lightening, rain and hail.  Two years ago we had a blizzard this time of year with two feet of snow.  What next - locusts?


 

Door County weather - never a dull moment
