I'm sure I'm not the only one getting fed way up with Old Man Winter. It just keeps hanging on and refusing to let go. The weatherman is sounding encouraging but I am waiting to see if the proof is in the pudding as the old saying goes.
Looking out the window this morning, the river appears to feel the same way I do. It's covered with patchy islands of ice. There are 2 bald eagles sitting in a tree resting before doing some fishing. The eagle population is very healthy if the numbers we have seen this season are any indication. At one of the lock & dams the DNR estimated 1200 eagles were gathered. They are a magnificent site to see and we're lucky to have a perfect spot to watch them.
Now mother nature needs to get the show on the road and give us all a little taste of Spring! We're waiting...
