Buds & Mud


A few days above freezing and the 60+ inches of snow that had crippled this area deflated. A few more and now the only remnants are the dirty lumps of snow that dot the landscape. The warm air, budding trees and gleaming mud are hinting at the oncoming change in seasons. In the last month, these sidewalks were impassable with semi-frozen slush and vicious winds thwarted even the best attempts for an afternoon walk. Today, with clear paths and inviting weather, the area seems to be beginning to stir from its long winter's nap. What a difference a day (or a few days) really makes.
