The snow is leaving the garden, and winter hideouts are revealed.

Lots of surface tunnels under the snow in one part. Someone lived here over winter. A mole or vole perhaps. They won't be able to stay, exposed to predators like that.

And who collected all these cones under a tree? It's quite a haul from the nearest pine.

The piles of leaves I dumped here and there have nicely shrunken down and are ready to be mixed back into the soil.

Snow almost gone. The puddles are shrinking. Soon the meadow will awaken.

At night you can hear the little river roar from all the meltwater.

Summer of 23 was shockingly hot here. It's when and why I flipped into full-on doomerism. We've had a little swing back off that extreme since. But if this premature Spring is any indicator, I'm afraid we're gonna roast this Summer. Today, 3/7, is 2d off record high, and 13d above average. #MELT

The melt is slowly returning some of my stuff.

Along with a bunch of mud and puddles.
