March: Early Spring at Our Pond

Though it was a lot of effort, in fact the culmination of a lot of effort over a lot of years, the digging of the pond and clearing of the trees on the hillside between the pond and the cabin have turned out to be a worthwhile investment indeed.

Sitting at the kitchen table looking over the pond and meadow and mountains beyond is a source of constant pleasure.

The turkeys are constantly parading past the pond at various times of day heading in various directions.

You lookin’ at me? You lookin’ at me? Cuz I think yer lookin’ at me.

Deer are everywhere, no doubt gorging themselves on the heavy crop of acorns this year. There are still tons on the ground from the winter, nobody’s going hungry this year.
