For the last two days we’ve had a combination of snow, slush and rain here at the tip of Lake Superior. At times the winds gusted to over 40 mph. In short it was not a fun time to be outside. I did make a few hikes over to my owl’s nest, and thankfully the family survived the storm without any issues. As sun and calm winds return for the next two days (and quiet nights), I’m sure the owls will be busy making up for missed hunts. I am looking to spending time in the woods over the next two days. Maintaining a social six foot distance is easy. I don’t see anyone.

I took this video and photograph back on Friday, the last time we had sun. The ice bridge over the waterfall as finally broken away. The sounds of the waterfall and rapids are now ever present in our yard. We keep the window open at night in our bedroom and are lulled to sleep by the white noise.
