Some of the grass on the edge of the trail is greening as well.
I cycled to the mall, the to Hampshire on the trail , then back to the Lower Malpeque road and on home. It was 15 and overcast with a south wind, so it was first day for cycling in shorts.

Walk in woods

 It was a wet day, I spend the afternoon in the shop. After supper I went for a 30 minute walk in the local woods. The buds are starting to open on this willow bush.

Just a normal flow in the creek today but then we didn't get much rain, maybe 10 mm at the most.
Temperature was around 10.

Fishermen

 I was hiking in the Morell area this morning, the fishermen by the Morell river were like a little village with the number of campers and vehicles parked by the river.

Walk on the trail in Milton

A little snow over night, all gone by noon.

I drove to Milton and walked the trail towards the fire school, these snow drifts are near the fire school.

Walk in the woods

 Just a normal amount of water flowing in the creek in the woods.

 No snow in this part of the woods but in places there is still a little snow.

This field near the business park is so soft and muddy you can't walk on it.
The forecast last noght was for 15 cm of snow but it never came. There was a couple of flurries but mostly drizzle and rain all day at 2, no wind to speak off.

Snow on trail

This snow drift was at Royalty junction, I left the trail here and went home by the road.

I used the old bike today and cycled into Charlottetown and started on the trail at Grafton street.
I cycled on the trail and about a km west of the Sherwood road came to this small amount of snow, I walked the bike though it but when I got to Royalty Junction there was too much snow, so I took the Royalty road to Winsloe and then on to home. It was sunny at 3 with a 20-30 km/h north wind.
I logged about 30 km on the bike.

Large ship

 I cycled into Charlottetown in the morning, still a few ice flues in the harbour.

This ship was getting ready to dock, some nice clouds around as well.

Seeing the line of dump trucks waiting at the wharf tells me that the ship must be loaded with crushed rock.
I cycled home by the way of Winsloe and was out for a couple of hours.
I spend a couple hours on the tree branches again in the afternoon.
Temperature was 4 but windy, gusts near 50km/h all afternoon.
