This really doesn't have anything to do with homesteading, except that we are soooo eagerly awaiting spring, and these signs of the ice break up in the river, and snow melt filling all the waterways gives us hope that it really is just around the corner. Right before I turned on the camera as I walked along the river today, a Canada goose flew overhead, honking. The spring birds are here.... The season is changing.
Spring WILL come.

| Ice has broken up and water is running fast |

| There is some indication here of how deep the ice was all winter. It began breaking up a couple weeks ago. We call this "ice out". Hard to imagine that just 2 weeks ago, this river was completely covered by several feet of ice, only showing itself in a few places, it's voice silenced under the winter blanket. Now it sings again, and we rejoice in the sound. |
