Switch Gears

80 degrees in Thomas, WV, today. Summer weather in a spring that will still be peppered with wet wintery flashbacks. The moon grows and so do the abundant grazing animals. Saw a black bear on my road at about 7:45 pm. Stared at each other a bit, then parted. Hawks, geese, ducks, grouse, vultures, crows...they can be omens. Little reminders that survival is always happening. Comfort is dangerous. Stay sharp.

 Speaking of sharp, this puppy is on it!

Lead Mine was socked in this morning. Cold, foggy and wet. A climb out revealed a toasty warm upper crust. Usually the other way around...but things are a bit turbulent these days.
