Digging our way into Spring!
It’s not really Spring yet with well-below-freezing temperatures every night, but many folks in the North are digging their way into Spring, if not Summer.
Up in deep snow country (the White Pass), the Yukon Suspension Bridge has the trenches dug into the property, now has to wait for Mother Nature to lend a hand.
At Spirit Lake Lodge, they got an early start and are now well into drying out.
Here at Mary Lake, I’m doing lots of digging. As well as getting the driveway dried out, I’d like to have the white stuff gone from a few areas when I get back from a road trip to Calgary and Kelowna (I’m leaving on Sunday) so I can get a permanent dog fence built, with gates so I can get my truck back to the barn and firewood shed.
With a couple of huskies, I’m doing other digging as well – that’s a job that some people are able to find the humour in 🙂
What we really need now is a day or 2 of heavy rain – Spring arrives very quickly when that happens, melting the snow and getting enough warm moisture into the ground to encourage plants to start growing.
