Still the beginning of Spring

You may think we are proceeding slowly into Spring, based on this image from one of our garden spots. Not so fast. According to my log, we had an eight-inch snow storm on April 8 last year! This year so far, I have raked a ton of leaves from the side yard, front yard, and back yard. Today, it is above 70F! This is another example how last year was a really, really crappy year. Oh yeah, this year we have toilet paper. Go figure.

Not only daffodils but some crocuses have also popped up (not shown). I saw a robin yesterday; they are not prevalent, probably because our grounds are quite dry. Rain has been sporadic, so moisture-loving creatures, such as earth worms, are few and far between.

Spotted a few days ago on the trail among clumps of frozen snow, mud, and wood in all shapes and sizes.

We have just had a couple days at, or near, 72F degrees.

For historical documentation, a snapshot of the Beaver Bog outlet stream from a few days ago is shown below. In early September past, this scene would have shown a bone-dry stream bed.
