Sensitivity and Snowmelt.

One manifestation of the ‘condition’ known as HSP is that it makes you so keenly aware of everything, from the patterns of snowmelt to the nuances of human nature to the effect of your actions on other people. The last of them can be restrictive at times.

And on the matter of snowmelt, I noticed today that several fields were completely clear of snow, whereas other, neighbouring fields – including Sarah’s paddock – were still mostly white. I wondered why this should be and realised that the clear fields were the ones that had been re-sown last autumn. This would presumably mean that the leaf density was lower on the newer fields than the old, so I assume the snow on the latter is better insulated against what little warmth there is in the soil. Hence the later melt.

That was today’s staggering revelation.
