I cleaned out the birdbath.
Checked my tulips. They are growing, despite their haircuts!
I covered some up, put a pot on top. That worked!
The wood is getting lower. I have a problem if phoebe wants to nest here, again. (Here she was nesting in a previous year.) The high wood pile lets the cats and other critters get up to them. I know Butch raccoon can climb, but it's good to get rid of any potential ladders.
The frog pond is warming up.
You can see lots of critters. There are lots of little wood frog eggs attached to dead leaves and foliage.

It looks cold and quiet, but I saw the fairy shrimp, as well as the mosquito larvae.

The wetland
The trailcam isn't picking up too much. Just good old Maggie, with the dislocated ankle.

...and the constancy of Maggie steadies life! Love the larvae pics. YAM xx
That Maggie is one tough old doe isn't she!!! With all the coyotes around she still survives.
Definitely a spring look out there, great way to cover the bulb shoots. I have a lot in paper bags, and t hey really need to go into the garden, sprouting in the dark!!! All OK here, total lockdown for another week, then a very slight easing of the restrictions for another 2 weeks, then a reassessment. For us oldies, not much difference.Some tradesmen will be able to return to work, with limitations.
Lots of pleasure when you know the area well.
Looking good over there
