We have not had a hard winter this year. It sounds like the people in Europe are getting our winter and theirs as well. I'm sorry about that actually. Some people at Sportsmens today were talking today about the possible coming snowstorm and mentioned that the ground has not really frozen this winter - so far. Maybe it's more correct to say that if it has frozen, it's only one or maybe two centimeters deep - less than an inch. Right now my pond is 'open' - not frozen and the soil is thawed - again. The pond has frozen twice but never enough that would be safe to walk on. Ask Tryggur who fell in once - once is usually all it takes. He will avoid walking on it unless it is fully frozen from now on I'm sure.
The downside of this mild winter is that the dogs are tracking in a lot of mud which normally does not happen until spring - which is what this winter has felt like - spring.
When I came back home today after taking Pila and Tryggur to Rally class this morning at 10:00, I decided that I needed to take some photos of our flowering Snowdrops and Winter Aconite before they got covered by snow.
