Where Are My Teeth?

It's melting

A few days ago, all of these feet would have passed over the winter's worth of compacted snow on the park's main trail without leaving more than a scuff or two. But after three straight days of high-40s sunshine a good solid footstep can dig in to the ankle. Lots of people are using the park these days, some getting in the last few days on cross-country skis, others driving up to walk their dogs and enjoy the brisk air before mud season closes the access road.

Of course, we've got at least another blizzard or two before the snow stops completely, and another couple of months before the last of it is gone from under the trees (or off the driveway and the lawn for that matter).
