Melting here

It got up to 59 here today. The low last night was 32. That is the highest low we have had in 5-6 months. We have a good melt going. I would guess the ice will start out tomorrow on the sloughs. I took the old dog for a run and he can still find a coon even if it was a dink. I saw two whooping cranes today too. Mallards and pintails are the only ducks I have seen so far.

Looks nice to see the ground. LOL Coons and skunks been moving a lot here. I just about stepped on a big bull snake today. It was a big one! It was laying right under a single 2 inch piece of pipe laid right in the shade of the pipe. LOL

We have a good melt going here too. It's amazing what a couple of nice days will do to the snow pack.

That coon was out during the day. I would have never seen it. The dog smelled it and went after it. It may have got flooded out of a culvert. There is a lot of water running. It is running across the road north of the house. I saw two Whooping cranes today too. I still have drifts in the trees that are 3-4 foot tall. So it will be a few days until it is all gone. But it is going fast. I was ready for a melt.

Lots of mud here... usually bothers me, but not this year!

Good to see you OLD bastages still enjoying life¡

The snow went fast here the last couple of days. Even saw a couple barn swallows and a couple tree swallows today, although I have no idea what they are eating, the flying insects won't be out for at least a couple weeks yet.

Mark, were the Whoopers flying north, or in a field hanging out?

bucksnbears It was almost warm enough to drink some of my homemade beer I mark "friends and relatives"
J.Morse the whoopers were sitting on the gravel road I live on. I was headed to town to get gas for the ATV. They flew west off the road and then started circling to gain elevation drifting north. I was headed north and they were keeping up almost while circling. I called them in. I see some pretty much ever year. Mostly in the fall and often with sand hills.
I would bet the slough below the house came up close to 2 feet today with the melt. Chicken coupe is flooded. I will move some dirt once it dries out some. A lot of snow melted today, but there is plenty to go in the trees.

It was warm here today, worked all day. Tomorrow sposed to be real nice!
Most or half our snow cover is gone

I'm your friend but ain't drinking no more of that stuff

Lol, hangover?

No... Massive squirts!!
Had to drink Clorox to get the taste out of my mouth!!

bucksnbears I may take up making whiskey. That would clean you out. Looking to the west from the house.

Lmao, that sounds worse than the wine I made, I think my container wasn't sealed good

Tactical.20 bucksnbears is not used to anything but goats milk. He is kind of girly about his eating and drinking.

You guys r funny!
