Crunchy snow

Birch, Beech Hill, Rockport, Maine, 21 February 2013.

Birch.

Pickup in the shop again today. Fixed this time. Finally. (Water in some wires.) But this pushed back my hike with Jack until late in the day—when it was cold and breezy and getting dark fast at Beech Hill.

Heard chickadees, though, just as we started up. Otherwise, just a lot of really crunchy snow and a pretty good wind up there. Might’ve been the quickest hike I’ve had since summer, in fact. But here’s a cool fact: tomorrow’s always a different kind of day.
