Well we finally got a decent snow. It started Friday night and fell lightly all night. Absolutely beautiful. I ran the next day in the afternoon when it had mostly melted. Did a pretty quick 10 mile run the next day stopping to take pictures of places I've seen so many times but never like this. I especially love the snow rows. Pipits, migratory frozen tundra birds were out there along with Eastern Meadowlarks. The melting snow had the field good and wet and should help the soil with the coming Spring. Hope they let the field lie fallow this year so the Toadflax, Henbits and Wild Mustards will take over and cover it with color. Then we'll probably get more Dickcissels and hopefully they'll have a little wheat out there to attract the Bobolinks. I need to get more regular with my running. They're having a new Half Marathon out at the Villages of Sandhills on 4/10/10. I have that distance easy, but I need to tighten up on speedwork and drop a few pounds. Always good to have a goal!
