Icy Weather

Yesterday I planted an apple blossom amaryllis bulb, in 5-6 weeks there should be blooms. We are in a stretch of unseasonably cold weather, highs on in the 30s and lows in the 20s. Ice on the beaver pond and the beavers are still active, giving Harley some smells to sniff on our short forest walk. Too cold on the hands to bring a beer or walking stick. Andrew is cooking Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon for dinner tonight. I hope we eat before 10pm, he is a slow cook and it's a very long recipe.
