It is 3 C. this morning. A bit of a shock. Maybe rain or snow tonight. It will switch over as the warm front moves in. Yes. We will stick with that thought!
Friday vs. Sunday morn!
Friday was a lovely day, after a morning of rain. I managed to plant about half the 100 bulbs. As I dug, I realized the 'soil' is sandy, crappy stuff. It is just awful. When they built the house, they seem to have simply plowed it flat. When I planted the bulbs, I should have amended the soil.

The wetland is wet. You can see the invasive frogbit growing, while all the leaves are done.
I think, with the warmer temperatures, they've been congregating where they smell water. I am encouraging them to go to a more reliable winter habitat.
Someone asked if I think they are coming back, but I do not think so. The new ones aren't as spooked by me, and come up for air after about 30 seconds. That is when I nab them!

After a break, I collected another +13 = 137!
Can you spot the one leopard frog?! They like the wet grass all summer. I was gleeful when I caught it. It was sitting on a rock on the edge of the pond, and as soon as I opened the front door to come outside, it jumped. It's been there a few days eluding me.
Cinnamon still isn't doing walkies with me. I promised I'd protect him from the fisher (on the trailcam on yesterday's post), but Cinn sat on the lower deck waiting for me as I walked to the back 40. Moral support. Smart kitty.
Indoors, Joseph Brian has been cleaning out his office. Do you know how many pens, markers, highlighters and pencils we have? I haven't told him about the drawer in my office in the basement!
