Harbingers of spring…

This forsythia bush easily viewable from my favorite chair is a joy to me when it blooms.

The cardinals usually show up in February. They are probably around earlier but I notice them then as I peer out the window and long for warmth.

The squirrels seem to have an easier time finding their nuts. The chip monks are busy doing what ever they do.

A coywolf passed by a few days ago. Sadly the battery was weak in my trail camera. It was moving too fast for me to get a picture. It was a beautiful animal.

No deer seem to be coming by yet. Perhaps they have kept themselves in the deep woods for now? The picture here is of a deer I call Fred from last summer. I am pretty sure he was a fawn about four or five years ago. He is skittish. His sibling, a doe, is not. They kept the honeysuckle trimmed that spring and summer.

It is close to springtime.

It is close to a joyous time of the year.

It is time to bike and walk and enjoy the change.

Carpe Diem
