Shoaff Lake Winter Snow Geeese Fort Wayne, Indiana

During the winter months,  I like to spend time along Shoaff Lake watching the waterfowl.

3.4mi Length, 144ft Elevation gain, 1–1.5hr Estimated time

This is more or less a view around here. I've been inside reading through some garden books and leafing through some seed catalogs, making plans for spring planting.

This is the time of year I generally fill the bird feeders and stay inside gazing out the window at the passing cars.

It's also the time of year I go through my seed packets and make plans for new rows and beds.

Dimension is added to my winter landscape as I avoided deadheading some of my plants like the bee balm shown here.

Occasionally, I go outside to observe nature - hoping it will soon warm so I can start forcing bulbs.
