For the longest time winter held on here, long after spring officially began. Until one week ago. Then it was like someone flicked a switch and there was warmth.
Immediately all living things saw that it was good, and burst out of their winter slumber in an exuberant celebration of life.

There is no lockdown in nature. It's full speed ahead, now that spring has not just officially begun, but has also officially officially begun.
Next - Our expanded garden!
Happy spring to all Northern Hemispherians. And fall to those of you in the South.
Oh my goodness! Here in the south we are bracing for the intense heat and humidity that's coming any day now. We've had glimpses of it already. The banana spiders are spinning their giant webs, the gators are out and mating and the night bugs and tree frogs lull us to sleep with their humming and buzzing. Enjoy your spring!
ReplyDeleteI was born on the prairies - bone dry. Here in the Maritimes I am having to deal with long term exposure to humidity. Not my favourite, but some summers are better than others. Nice wildlife observations. Sounds great, and potentially dangerous.
DeleteI am gardening here. It just seems like a positive thing to do in the face of everything.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. A cure-all.
DeleteBeautiful pictures, makes me want to go out in the woods.
ReplyDeleteGo, go, GO.
DeleteWe know all about the frog eggs! My husband & I hike nearby our house at a boy scout camp with a lake. We love to hit that day or days in the spring when the frogs are mating. Such a wonderful sound. Nothing like it!

It's not spring here until one can hear the frogs calling. Soon turtles will be looking for a place to lay their eggs.
DeleteWe had beautiful summery weather last week. Overnight the trees leafed out. This week has been gloomy and cloudy. Everyone here is asking themselves, "Was that it? Was that summer?" Mela
ReplyDeleteOur trees also leafed out seemingly overnight. Today is sunny, but the temperature is shockingly cool compared to last week. I am going to enjoy the cool before the heat and humidity set in for the summer.
