I know that spring is not just around the corner but today in all of the cold and wind (high temperature of 18) I saw a bunch of robins on the side of the North Union Road. They were in a crabapple tree making the most of the small frozen fruits and in fact had dropped a bunch on the snow below the tree. I have to admit that even after seeing them in February for the last few years I am still startled to see them in the cold and snow.
Argy and I travelled to Bar Harbor on Saturday to visit out son Noah who is a junior at the College of the Atlantic. As part of the trip we spent a couple of hours snowshoeing in the National Park. The weather was perfect; cold but not too cold and clear as a bell. There was plenty of snow that was crusted over from the rain at the end of last weeks storm and about a half an inch of new snow that fell early that morning.

CARIBOU, Maine—Even by Maine's standards, January was cold and snowy.
