Hard to See, But Two Rabbits are Playing"Real liberation comes from not glossing over or repressing painful states of feeling but only from experiencing them to the full." Carl G. Jung
Yesterday I saw the first marsh hawk to come back to our field appear out of the wind-blown snow, a female. She flew right past two of the studio windows so I got such a close look at her face, eyes and the pattern and color of her body. Other people maybe two weeks ago have said they've seen flocks of geese flying, but Tuesday I saw my first geese this spring sailing over the highway at Pole Creek. It was a moment of joy in the morning. No one has told me yet that they've had cranes in their fields, but they should be showing up soon too.
Yesterday and the day before we were having terrible ground blizzards. It was a good day to stay in for sure. The snow blows high into the air and obscures everything. If you were out, it would rip the hair right out of your head. I checked the Pinedale Airport online and that report said it was only blowing 8 mph there. March is usually a bad month for wind. The rest of the week doesn't look so great either. Overnight the wind uncovered my two potentillas and there are areas in the yard that are blown bare. I checked some pictures from a year ago at this time and we have a lot more snow left this year than then. Then the snow had gone off except for the remnants of the largest drifts. Now we are still solid white.
Jerry called last evening and asked how the road was after the wind. He thought he'd better come and clean out the drifts or he might not get through it if it blows some more. They get packed down hard from the wind sometimes. What I could see of the road didn't look too bad, but the snow was blowing across from the north side.The drift in back is over my head and creeping across the driveway in front of the garage. So Jerry came with the dump truck and big plow this morning after they fed their cows and got us "unsnowed" again. Joe went out and got the mail after lunch.
Can't believe it is already the end of March, but glad to be getting closer to spring. Recently I wanted to see what date I was taken to the hospital in Idaho Falls, about a year ago now I think. I discovered that I cannot go all the way back to the beginning of my blog, like maybe it isn't all there, been deleted? ran out of space? Does Anyone know how that works?
