Could It Be "Spring"

Although, we still have 40 to 50 days that we could expect winter, it really appears that it is trying to change seasons. I was reminded of this today when I crossed the Anchor River Bridge. There is 18 to 24 inches of water running over the top of the ice. The upper river is showing signs of ice heaving and breaking so we could see an early break-up on the river this year.

Weather report is for continued weather that we have been seeing the past week. Night time temperatures falling just below freezing but mid forties during the day. If the river breaks, I would guess that it is going to occur within the next three or four days.

Guess, I should go down and shovel the remaining snow off the deck of the "Cistern" and rig the bilge pumps, it won't belong before they are needed.

If anybody has any ideas about parking this summer, I would appreciate some input. Would surely like to try to keep the "bowl area" open as much as possible. Not only to give us more space and atmosphere but also as a safety zone for the "little ones" that do not always watch out for vehicles backing up.

Any other suggestions and comments are also appreciated pertaining to any topic, the Executive Committee will take them into consideration. Oh, I forgot to tell you about the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is comprised of the Grand Poopah and for those that fear a Monarchy, the duly elected "Little Poopah" is also on the Executive Committee to give it a "fair and balance" forum.
