Green things are sprouting up everywhere; it's time to weed the flower beds already, and to trim back pine trees that are threatening to engulf the driveway.
A pair of Canada geese are considering nesting in the pond this year. There's lots of cover for them back in the buttonwood bushes, which they seem to like. Once in there, they become almost invisible. Can you see the second one in the photo below?
Winter was so mild this year that we can't quite trust that it's over. We keep asking, Was that IT? Is that all there IS? Compared to the endless Arctic event of last year, it's as if winter passed us by. Not that anyone is complaining.
When I get a chance, I'm going back in the woods to see if there are any ramps or morel mushrooms yet. I'll keep ya posted.

it took me a moment but I do see the 2nd goose
what a great place for them
Oh I wish my ducks had that kind of cover to nest in here..that is perfect..I am wondering if the waterfowl nesting is going to be early as there won't be anything for them to eat till May...Michelle
I love it that the daffodils are ust about to bloom! And I did see the second goose - but I had to look. Hope you find ramps and morels...
Beautiful early spring shots. I'm doing the same thing, asking: is this it? I don't think we've ever had a milder winter here.
