The wind howled through Beulah today!

It certainly wasn't a still night last night, but as the morning grew older, the wind really picked up. Trees came down, being out was no fun, and the pond - well, its winter ice is now history. The wind began to calm as the afternoon wore on - it's still breezy out there, but not at all like it was mid-day, when it was really howling. I took these photos around 4:30pm today, so April 5 goes down as the day the winter ice was fully gone from the pond.
