February 27, 2008 – Almost stopped snowing. Rose is into her fourth year of pursuing the Imaginary Squirrel, who appeared shortly after we moved to the farm, but has made himself scarce since. This does not detour the work-obsessed Rose in the slightest, from watching for him every single time we walk by this tree, day or night, rain or shine. And now she has a rapt audience. Ringside is Izzy who loves to watch her work, and Lenore, who is smitted with Izzy.
