Hank predicts Seattle in overtime

Hank says that Seattle Seahawks will win in OT, having picked the blackberries, representing the darker uniforms.
      Also, Hank the hen says that no maple sap will be flowing in the Harcourt area until well after March 7, 2014.  This is signified by no egg production for the last 5 days, meaning that winter is still well established and too cold for egg laying. 
       Thanks Hank.

Deep drifts

Spring, please come soon.

Hank predicts tied game

Hank the chicken has gone out on a limb and predicted a tied game in the Super Bowl.  First Hank went to sample a single Seattle blackberry.  Then she walked around and ate many more red/orange berries from Denver, before returning to blackberries.   This alteration continued. This can only be seen as a tied game with each side being equal.
     Perhaps Hank is waiting for an injury report on Sunday.  Stay tuned for a final decision by Hank the 'eggsalent' predicter before the game.

Causeway drifting

The brush and trees along the causeway make for a great snow fence, if you like deep snow on the causeway.

Cracking

-36 degrees this morning and the forest is cracking constantly, in competition with the lake.
