February

I think it means dreary...bored with winter. We are now working on getting out and rambling somewhere at least once a week, instead of suffering cabin fever, but the weather is not cooperating. Indeed, it snows on weekends. If we hustle, we can make a quick run up to Chatauqua, but the drawback here is that most of the trails are actually in the shade and hence solid ice. Me and ice do not get along.

Found some petrified chokecherries along the Bluebell trail. Also saw some CU wildlife gathering at the Bluebell shelter for a night of roystering.
