At the beginning of the week I was having thought of spring. Apparently word got out that I was making plans and Mother Nature caught up with me. Started snowing Wednesday evening and was still snowing when I went to bed on Thursday. Yes we got some! This is the view out the office door looking at the now piled in kennel. The best part is that they are now talking about another storm next week.

Today felt spring like. Warmish (ok 40 degrees) windy with bright sunshine the ice on the ponds is getting dark indication that the warm water below is working on it. It got me thinking about the coming season. So I registered the Lund Alaskan and the Sequoia and began to work on my fly rod order from Orvis for the coming season.

A couple of incidents this week pointed out to me that the total lack of respect for small service businesses like mine is unchanged in thirty plus years. My prices went up this year for the first time in a long while which means changing prices on the web, in my software and of course my brochures that are displayed where visitors might find them.
