Hooper helped me transplant a flower into a new pot. It was a gift! The pot, not the flower!
Down at the pond April 22nd, a muskrat. I didn't see him/her Monday. We shall see what happens. They were back April 3rd, in 2016 (Guess who had six babies!) , but didn't nest here last year. They created some push-ups, but didn't stay.
Sunday, April 22nd, 2018, we'll see if s/he hangs around!
The cats have been so happy, released from the house, walled in by snow. JB walked Annabelle down in the meadow. He took her to the climbing tree, the one that fell. It's a favourite of hers.
The wood ducks are back, here on the trailcam camera. It was -1 C. early in the morning.
I took down the old flag, and replaced it. It is heavy, and a bit tricky to do. It pivots on a bolt, there are three total. I have to take two out and then slowly lower it to the ground.
Next project, restarting the goldfish pond pump. Daisy helped. I took off my jacket, and was in a t-shirt. AMAZING!!!
JB's water fountain needs work. I uncovered it. There were helpers. I'm going to have to get Hansen's Garden Ornaments peeps to help repair it. I busted my bird bath, as well. That will have to be replaced.
This song sparrow, a regular pair, have been looking for bugs in the lattice work. If you watch to the end, you can see how happy Hooper is in the fountain!

Of course, the geese! How iconic.

Hooper was more fascinated by the bugs, the deer fascinated with him. They are quite curious about the cats. They've been careful, not hostile. Cats don't look like coyotes, and deer come into contact with the raccoons, and rabbits. You can see Daisy, between me and the tree.
