"Slowly Winter Is Leaving The Northern Forest!"

It was another crazy week here with the weather!!
We had a couple nice sunny days, snow, rain, sleet. We actually had rain, snow and sun all in less than 1/2 hour.
However, the warmer temperatures are slowly melting the snow and bare ground is now visible in the plowed areas. As you can see from the above photos, the lake is showing some open water along the sides and the lake level is rising from the Spring run off.
We have a resident Ermine in the chalet for the last few weeks that occasionally peeks out at me and then scurries away. I have no idea how it got in here and if it just comes in to visit. However, one of their favorite things to eat is mice! Better than a cat! It too is starting to show signs of Spring as it is starting to change color from it's Winter white to it's Summer brown. 
As it moves so quickly and never sure when it will appear, it is difficult to get a photo of it.
The coming week looks like some great sunny weather and warmer temperatures which should help speed up the snow melt!
The dogs are doing great and getting into the chewing the houses stage (renovations). They do it ever Spring.
Until next week.......
