Hockey and rubber boots

GO BEAVERS!! Sorry, but I just had to get that in there. It's a great thing for college hockey and our community, when our 16th seeded Beavers (Bemidji State University) made it to the final (frozen) four. I went out to the hunting cabin yesterday to get my rubber boots. Still about 18" of ice on the lakes and 5-12" of new snow predicted for the next 24-36 hours. I haven't "summerized" my snow shovel yet. On Saturday, I watched two bald eagles fly down to the ice to munch on some frozen sunfish. Awesome birds!! I wonder what kinds of birds we'll be seeing in Nova Scotia? Still a lot of things to do to get ready. Only 12 more days!
