I apologize for not posting near the end of last month. Activities continue to slow down a bit up here. We have plenty of snow. A"blizzard" several days ago turned into about 10 inches of snow and heavy winds. Dawn Towey, a friend, remarked that the wind won't be blowing at our camps, we can just listen to the wind in the treetops. Often I worry about the trees toppling in front of camps and it was comforting to listen to the wind whistling in the treetops for most of the evening. A great sound indeed.
Here's a photo of the pond from my porch. In the photo it's hard to tell if it's snow or water. Trust me it's snow.
I thought that I would inclde a couple of area photos in the mix today. Below is a snowman family in the field near the dentist's office.
And below is Saddleback as the sun was setting.

I want to thank all of you, who responded to the donation request. We have collected $330.00 so far. The funds will help us in the watershed survey this spring. Our steering committee is meeting monthly. Tomorrow night John Towey and I meet with the Rangeley selectmen to update them on our progress and request a few more dollars. Wish us luck!
Today, April 17, through the snow we saw a loon, not quite in full Summer colors. We has about 6" today of snow, did plow. Got in the way of fishing. Ice out, April 10, was too windy and mixed precip. But it was still good to see the ice GO.
