Celebrated by changing the angle of the solar panels, watching lambs being born and then last evening as we took a break with the first adult beverages of spring a group of five blue herons flew right by the deck! With 18 inches of slushy ice covering this part of the lake I don't know where they'll find heron-like conditions, but more power to 'em! Pantry and freezer are stocked for eight weeks, if needed, so bring on ice-out!
