I Need Spring Pretty Soon

I need to go for a drive in the country and see a moose standing in an abandoned farm yard.

I need to see a White-tailed Deer doe burst out of a grassy ditch and race across a field - and when I drive slowly by the place she had been, catch a glimpse of her new-born fawn.


I need to see a beaver grooming itself on a creek bank.


I need to look out my window and see a little Eastern Cottontail eating up bird seed.


I need to see a Painted Turtle crossing a walking path.


Winter is sapping my soul.

    "Winter is sapping my soul"... oh yes indeed. I love to see all those things right about now, although I'd have to drive about 300 miles straight north to see a moose. :)

    Day-dreaming of greener times takes up half my days. Moose have moved onto the prairie in the past couple of decades. I saw two a few weeks ago - I hope they find enough to eat to survive the cold and deep snow. This last month or so is really, really tough.

    dAwN, I'm wiggling my nose like crazy but my witchiness doesn't seem to be clicking in; I'm still here amid the snow and cold. So yes, bundle my SnowBirding soul in some warm weather and ship her on home sometime soon. Tks.

    I can't wait to see green instead of this large expanse of white! I might have to come visit you-I have not been able to see any moose in MN! Wendy

    So weird MN doesn't seem to have moose - with all those lakes and trees. And hey, Wendy, while you are always welcome to come up here, I might be cruising around MN sometime this year.

    Thanks, B. I want some melting to happen soon - and not followed by extreme cold. The extreme temps are what drive me crazy(er).
