Spring Approaches

I'm still mourning my dog, Ambrose. However, some events here are worth mentioning.

As you can see, I had a pair of the most elegant birds--Eastern Bluebirds--checking my houses this morning. The female noticed winterberries that I had planted for them and flew down for one or two.

Then it was time to check out a knot in one of the hickory trees.

After checking out the yard, both blues then flew off together and were replaced by two of the regulars--Phillie and Millie--2 of the local goundhogs.
