As I look out over the white frozen Connecticut River with the sun shining brightly, it seems like a picture post card. It might seem like a quiet time for rehab, but that is far from the truth. Despite the cold and snow, the quiet time has passed. My day sare now spent getting the nursery ready, ordering supplies and getting that always too abundant paperwork organized and ready to go with Bill’s help. Soon the babies will be arriving. Bedding has generously been donated for the season, so that is one less thing I have to order. Fo The extreme cold this year could mean a later than normal baby season, but it is best to prepare for an early season. The two opossums I am wintering over just come out far enough out of the hay to show their noses and eyes when I feed them. They are waiting for spring as well. I am selecting seeds for a critter garden this year to help offset the cost of food for the babies. It is also better for them. Spring will be here soon.
