On a visit to my mother, the hose exploded and made the greatest little lumpy ice storm in the corner of her yard. I took several pictures of it. The original is here:


Because it was a great image before I started messing with it.

It is cold. But, things are starting to melt in the middle of the day. The ground is not frozen solid all day long even in the sun any more. So the world is slowly spinning back towards spring (for us in the northern hemisphere anyhow – this is what comes of thinking globally…). I am anticipating the melt. That is partly why I chose water for this month instead of next, when in theory April showers bring whatever they bring. Lion or lamb, March means melt to me. And maple syrup and pancakes. My Sunday yoga teacher is determined to have pancakes with maple syrup every week until sugar season ends. I am thinking we should go indulge at least once. Probably more.
