5/5 All in all though, I'm equal parts excited - to be working with some great people in a dynamic field - and apprehensive - about what kinds of craziness could take place in the next couple of years.

But if I make it there in one piece this summer… go #Huskies!

Pausing on today's run under Hwy 110* as snow falls in the gap between west and eastbound lanes.

Does it count as #SilentSunday if there's the drone of highway noises above, even with the otherwise gentle fall of snow?

* The highway department calls it Hwy 62 now, but to us it will always be 110!

Late run when rain turned to snow! Huskies were in their element. My legs feel to be coming back towards their former form. Not there yet, but promising progress!

I love how husky fur is hydrophobic, at least in crystaline form: snow sits on the outer edges of the fur, ready to fly off with just a bit of a shake. If one feels it's worth the bother -- huskies don't mind carrying a dusting of snow with them!

Two huskies lead the way, running down a paved path running parallel to a road through a suburban neighborhood. Both huskies are connected to the runner and photographer by a bright orange split lead. The whole scene is whitened by a steady fall of snow that has not quite fully covered the grass and leaves on either side of the path.
The huskies pause on the path farther down than the previous photo. They're each covered with a light coating of snow. The paved path is now cold enough to start getting a slushy buildup of snow on top which shows dark canine footprints. Zeena, up front, has her eyes squinted shut and mouth in a happy husky grin. Tonttu, in the back, is giving his nose a lick.
Zeena pauses in close-up along the path next to a bit of wild prairie grass and plants dry for winter and covered in a light layer of snow. Zeena's head, back and harness are likewise covered with a light layer of snow crystals.
Another shot of Zeena in profile standing on the side of the trail, revealing that the snow frosting goes all the way down her back, which has dark guard hairs covering a light undercoat, to her fluffy white tail.

Late-winter/early-spring hiking the last couple of days between rainy episodes. Earliest of avian migrants are starting to trickle in, but very little green is showing yet and very few bugs out.

The local parks still hold out hope for one more skiable snow, though it seems really unlikely at this point.

Mouses have been scarce. Perhaps as the ground thaws they can dig new tunnels deeper than our huskies can snuffle.

Husky Zeena runs past a sign warning that only skiers are allowed on the trails. The trails are completely bare and brown paths through equally brown prairie.
Human Jeff stands at a chainlink fence at the top of a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River where it widens into Spring Lake. It's a sunny early spring day, with the trees below and beyond still bare. The partly cloudy sky reflects blue in the lake below.
Two huskies snuffle in tall bluegrass prairie along the edge of a paved path.
Hiker Jeff and husky Zeena pause at a muddy lakeshore on a gray late-winter day. Zeena is out in the water checking around the vegetation for interesting smells.
