More Signs of Spring

Spring has officially sprung. And as we are homebound we spent a lot of time working about the yard. De-winterizing if you will. And the yard is de-winterizing as well (springerizing?).

The water is again falling.

Flowers are blooming ...

... Daffodils ...

... Creeping Speedwell ...

... and this yellow one (perhaps Marsh Marigold?).

Pigs-ear Fungi is again gracing the front garden, under the pine tree.

The Peepers are peeping ☜ click to listen.

And hiding. Or at least trying to.

As are Bullfrogs.

And where there are frogs there are tadpoles. Multiple different sizes are swimming in the pond. Click here to see some trying to eat a bit of cat food kibble.

The kibble was Hamster's leftovers.

The Water Lilies are waking up. And the Water Lily Planthoppers have appeared in force (look closely at the Bullfrog and you'll see a planthopper sitting on it).

A lot more is going on. Buds are waking up on shrubs. Birds are checking out nest boxes. Chipmunks are looking for food. And all manner of insects are emerging.

Spring has sprung. And it is good to be alive.
