It looks like the ice is definitely breaking up. A quick tour around the lake this morning showed open water along the edges, large cracks widening, and open water in the shallow area off of the Mercyhurst dock. If this was Cicily, Alaska (i.e. the fictitious town in "Northern Exposure"), we'd be working off our pent up energies with the running of the "bulls". Doubt that we will see that here this year. I would have settled for an eagle sighting but that didn't happen either.
I did see my fox today. I've named her Rennie (short for Rene). She's Parisian. Her spouse is named Nyardo. He's a Basque but moved across the mountains to France. (Get the play on the French word for fox - Reynard?). My new bird feeder and woodpecker feeder are getting some use. We already have a nice pair of cardinals coming in, and several types of small woodpeckers. I still have to make up my garden plans, get some seeds planted, and order some Top growing onions. Hopefully, I can do more foraging this summer. There is plenty to eat outside if one has the time to pick and prepare Nature's bounty.
