Prognostication
Wiarton Willy may be right with a prediction for an early spring this year - though he didn't actually attend the prognostication festivities himself - the town mayor tossed a fur hat in the air and made the declaration. Rumor has it he went into permanent hibernation. Either way, it was certainly mild and damp when we escaped the house and went for a hike today. Snowshoes were a must in the softening snow pack.
