Tis the season

In a matter of days grass turned green, tree buds appeared (and leaves followed), flowers and weeds bloomed and lawns were mowed. Golfers are already frustrated. Temperatures sometimes reached the 80s.

Where we live male goldfinches have turned bright yellow and (common) grackles have arrived in numbers to overwhelm bird feeders. Wild turkeys across the road gobble every morning and evening.

It must be spring!

But let's not get ahead of ourselves!

This morning's low was close to freezing. Baseball's opening day is not yet a week past. Mother's Day is a month away and we still need April showers to bring May flowers.
