Where Are My Teeth?

Gotcher Frost Heave Right Here

If you had any doubt the winter was a tenacious occupying force, surrendering only reluctantly and determined to leave as much of a mess as possible in the wake of its departure, a short walk in the park would disillusion you. (If you thought that I just had to get some purple writing out of my system, you'd be right.) Where the ground isn't still frozen under the surface it's boot-deep mud.

I'm not sure how many more days that will be true, though. Highs above 40 for the next week or more (funny how winter gets into your thinking) and daylight getting longer. This time of the year, before the trees begin leafing out, is as birght as it gets in the woods, and you can see how the old leaves soak up the sun's heat.
