Climate Change?

I was so happy when "global warming" became passe and "climate change" became the cause du jour.  We can relate to climate change.

First two pics from a year ago taken on March 25, 2012.



March 25, 2012



In 2012 the lake was ice free on March 22

Here's some shots taken yesterday, March 28, 2013

Out on the lake headed to check out the eagle nest

Getting bigger, we frequently see eagles fly right over the house with limbs from the woods.



Trust me, Spring has not sprung






Baily loves to climb the piles.  I think he hopes to surprise some critters on the other side.  He for one will be diasppointed when (?) they disappear.

 

Clearly not a good trend.  Given our property was once covered with over a thousand feet of ice are we headed in that direction again?

P.S. Last year was the earliest the lakes had ever opened up.  Since that fact diminishes the impact of my argument I left it as a footnote.  Al Gore said it was ok.

Baily Shots

Just some random Baily shots...

Guarding the quilts




Yes, Baily is a growing boy





Both Baily and I are on the same page here...What the ????




Out on the lake



Snow Fun

Got to enjoy the snow in Beckett's back yard.  They'd gotten 6" of wet, heavy snow that was disappearing fast over the warmer weekend.



Beckett just got a new tube.





The snow pile from clearing the patio make a greater safety bumper.  Saved Grandpa from flying through the sliding glass door.





It was perfect Frosty building conditions, although Frosty bit the dust Sunday morning, the rain did him in.



Delaney

Spent the weekend at Delaney and Beckett's house.  Here's a few shots of Delaney,  just a little over 6 months old.
