Warmer
today, near 45 degrees, with a frost-driven wind all day. The snow is melting
quickly in the brilliant sun, and now the tracks we saw yesterday stand in
relief. It is a curious thing, those tracks of the animals and of us are the
last things to completely melt, which then leaves the compressed snow of the
track impressions plain to see against the revealed detritus of last fall’s
leaf litter and Earth.
The
wind spells change, and the front is bringing arctic air tomorrow. January is
living up to its namesake – Janus, two faced it has been this year more than I
can recall in the past. Back and forth we’ve gone from thaw to freeze.
