Sun-day Lived Up to Its Name Today.

We went above freezing for the first time in a long time (don't think we hit 33 yesterday). Clear Lake too, where Buddy and I stopped off for a walk on the way home, lived up to its name, in the spring-fed part where the waters were still open.

He's sleeping now. Rabbit-hopping through a foot of soft snow, off the harder tire treads or snowmobile tracks, takes a lot of exertion for a little dog. But it must seem worth it, sniffing the base of the trees where other animals have marked.

He loved it. Hope you got out too, and maybe felt a touch of spring in the air...
