Came home to another mouse, first in a while.  Cold and clear night, dipper to the north, Orion to the southeast, Jupiter hanging below the moon.  As I reached the spot where I release the mice, a beaver slapped the pond.  A minute later, the ice made that whale-song sound.

Edging toward fifty degrees.  Rain and a little snow melt and the pond is high.  Pruning the suckers off the fruit trees, but I'm not sure they're fully dormant.  Today's report:
