February, not to be out done, had a high temperature of 62 degrees recorded on Feb. 10.
As the temperatures warmed, some of the Applegate canines opted to enter the frigid pond waters. Sadie, unaffected by the brisk temperatures, insisted on swimming in any spot of open water. Clem continued with his annual winter hobby of fishing for ice in the pond. Meanwhile, the remnants of last year’s asters endured the sun and the snow. |
Nonetheless, the sun provided some brief moments of illumination and inspiration. Included in those moments was feline Lil’ Bit feeling the warmth of the sun. A little bit of sun here and a little bit of snow there added up to a little bit of something to write about. That’s just the nature of things ‘round here. |
