Finally, finally, spring has arrived in Indiana. We're getting April showers, instead of snowstorms ...
... and those showers are bringing the flowers. Pussy willows are in full fuzz and the jonquils are aaaaalmost in bloom:
These are the first to raise their sunny little heads and fill the air with sweet, welcome perfume.
Look closely in the foreground. See those wild garlic sprouts spiraling up? I think they're wonderful, though I will eventually have to pull them up.
The bluebirds have returned, too, along with the song sparrows, owls, and turkey vultures. The gold and purple finches are once again bright gold and purple, and everything is singing - including the frogs.
Best of all are the tom turkeys, competing for the attention of the ladies. A parade of toms in full display is a truly impressive sight, each standing about three feet tall at the top of the tail, their iridescent copper and bronze feathers flashing in the sun.
