The only reason I might like to wish for a LITTLE more snow is to cover up all our lovely snirt. But then again, maybe the piles of snirt are a sign of approaching spring? One interesting thing is as the snirt begins to melt it forms fascinating shapes - mini-caverns and holes. I can almost imagine mini-people exploring.
As we move south-ish (trying to outrun another Polar Vortex!) snirt piles are getting smaller. We see more bare earth....brown, beige, yellowish, grey...but at least not white! There is beauty in the stark end-of-winter views we see out the RV's window. Farm fields are grey/brown with the left-over stubble of last year's crop. Some fresh red barns peek through barren trees....followed by a neighboring barn so aged and grey it looks like the next good wind would take it down. Still...there is a kind of proud beauty there.
It's been a windy day and we noticed some birds taking off into the wind...flapping their wings double time but making slow progress. Others take off with the wind, lift their wings and just soar.....taking the easy way home.
So we are NOT camping tonight since the temperature forecast calls for 12 degrees plus windchill. So it's motel time for us and for Fenway. Maybe tomorrow.....or not.
(And for those who may not know, snow+dirt=snirt.)
