Robins and Crocuses?

February 1, 2007 in Fernie by keith

Last I looked the calendar still read January. Just barely. Yet before this last cold snap, I found myself looking for patches of dirt with crocuses poking up and watching for the early morning Robin checking out the lawn for an lazy worm.

Spring is sprung?

So what’s up?

Wandering around, I found some dirt at the end of 2nd Avenue under a huge fir tree. Sneaking into the yard, I looked carefully among the fallen needles and small twigs covering the ground. No robins. No crocuses. A little blown in snow and lots of last year’s needles.

Are we getting set up for a big dive? Seems like it,

No other dirt to be found. Just that one patch.

So as we flip into February, it’s likely to usher in a few more months of great sledding for us. We’ll wait to see what this month brings us for surprises (or cm’s).

Until then, break out the SL boards, keep a stone in your pocket and enjoy the racer chaser snow while you can. It’s fun once in a while. And it won’t last forever.

This is Fernie.
