My World Tuesday

my world




How wonderful the world as it changes.
Spring is coming. The ice is melting. The frog pond slowly begins to open up. The amphibians will soon be awake. There is running water everywhere!

We were sitting by the shore and up popped... a snake? No, a muskrat tail slithered by under the chunks of ice. The water is so cold. Of course, I could not get a photo, but I captured the little tyke on video last July after it decimated my plants.

He's too cute to get really upset at! He's probably waiting on edge for you to plant something nice for him!

Bring on the spring! Thanks for these.

Thank you, Sylvia. We are ready for spring.
He is too cute, Louise. He chopped down all the bulrshes around the frog pond, plus these gorgeous tall purple poker flowers...I was so upset at the time...

That is good news, Crafty!
I think we are having a warm up tomorrow. It will be great.

I LOVE Renfrew, Cloudia. My publisher is there. I drove through to see him, on the way to seeing my daughter, SIL, son & granddaughter!

Yes, isn't it great that spring is finally arriving! We don't have muskrats near our cabin, but we do get bushy-tailed woodrats. They can mow down my garden in one night. I have to be very careful to pull the floating garden away from the cabin's float to keep them away. Forget it one night and you are asking for trouble. Loved your video! - Margy

Thank God for sesons and the wonderful changes between them.

Muskrat looks quite busy to care who's taking a video of him:) That's really a beautiful pic and the video is quite interesting.
