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.
