A few sunny days have begun to appear, and we take advantage.
At a nearby small town, this Amish horse and buggy wait while the owner does some shopping.

The local ski resort is still in full swing after a great season.

Of course after all the rain we had last weekend it suddenly got very cold, and froze on everything.

We have a great place to eat lunch, and are awarded with a pretty cool Union Pacific engine.

Now, I know this isn't a very good picture, but I just had to show this Coot that walked up from the flooded creek and got close enough to touch. She was all ice covered, and didn't seem to mind that I was clicking away with my camera. I only got 3 decent pictures, and this is the best of those. I watched for quite a while, but she walked along the foundation of the house and somehow disappeared. We don't see Coots around this area and I'm wondering if she got blown off migration course during the heavy rainstorm.

A back view of the Cooper's hawk. I haven't seen him for the past 3-4 days. Maybe he has found the neighboring farm's pigeons..

Cold, wind, and rain today. More of March's goodies, but don't forget to set your clocks 1 hour ahead this Saturday night. YEAH!
