Although there some frost last night, chances are pretty good that things will be warmer from this point on. I snapped a few photos around my area that tell me spring is in the air. At our place we have a lot of flowers that come up each spring (I suppose those are annuals) and we’ve never planted a single one of them in the 6 years we’ve lived there. Pretty lucky that way. Other photos are from the immediate area. It seems appropriate -somehow- to start with my favorite cement pig, Oreo, who is busy plowing the garden…and seems to need a springtime touch-up of his own.
We have 5 crab apple trees on our property and aside from being handy places to hang my hammock, the best reason I can think of to keep them around are for the beautiful flowers that bloom each spring. The buds are just about ready to pop open.
My workplace is pretty close to a pond and someone discovered over the weekend that a duck had come up to the side of the building, dug a hole in the mulch and laid her eggs.
