Ice Out

Last year at this time my kayak was in the water.  This year it will still be a few days.  On the other hand I heard peepers in the swamp down the road.

A Warm Spring Day's Songs

The sun was shining and the temperature rose up to almost 60F this afternoon.  Almost all of the snow is gone now, leaving just a few traces in shady corners.

Skunk cabbage is in full bloom, phoebes and wood frogs and song sparrows are singing.  There are buds on the arbutus.

The streams are running
