Signs of spring

Last night, heading out to a meeting, I smelled a skunk! March is when the males head out, looking for mates, so that's certainly a sign of spring!
Also, one of the two hawks was up and shrieking again this morning. There was a pair--no idea if it's the same one--spotted up at West Tatnuck Elementary last week. We're getting there!

At 9 am, it is 43 degrees and rising, a very mild morning
Humidity stands at 64% and falling
Barometer is 30 even and falling; there's rain expected later today
Fire danger remains LOW
Stream is running at 5 inches even; expect that to rise over the weekend.

If the weekend is as warm as predicted, the Cascades will be rushing nicely; come see!

Hi,
We made it to your place today, after a long, very wet walk in the woods. The view from the blue trail at the back of the house is amazing! Trails were in ok shape, a lot to do once it gets drier though.
