Thursday, 8:00 AM. 35 degrees, wind W, calm. The sky is partly cloudy and the barometer predicts sunny skies. I am on my way to the sugar bush, where we collected 80 gallons of sap yesterday.Andy and Judy came to dinner last evening, they were glad to get away from boiling sap for a while. About 8:30 neighbor Sherman called to tell me there was a cub and a big sow bear up a tree in Albrecht’s yard next door. While he was on the phone the sow came down the tree and both he and Pebbles made a strategic retreat to the garage. Soon all the neighborhood dogs were out and about barking and the bears evidently left for a quieter location. I bought bird seed yesterday but I think I will be circumspect as to how and when I put it in the feeders.
There is a lot of open water now. The Forsythia branches I brought in to force are blooming, right on time for Easter.
