Signs of Spring

source

  You can't imagine my surprise yesterday when I saw an Otter

swimming by on the lake. He was so......cute! I didn't have time

race into the house, to get the camera, and get a shot myself. But

here is a photo I found on line.

Let me tell you the little fellow was swimming so fast, I'm sure

he didn't get very much further before he had to take a little

breather like this poor, sleepy fellow did.

I did have time to get a shot of a couple of birds feeding

atop our 'hot tub'.

Another sign that spring is nearer-Mr. Blue Jay!



A common enough looking bird.

But I'm afraid I don't know it's name, do you?

I do know this sweet fellows name.

Our precious little g'son, Reece. He sure has grown since

Christmas when he was here visiting. Maybe you remember

 him. I know he's sure ready for spring.

Although I know it's a ways off until my chives look like

this photo I had taken last year, I was encouraged to see

green at the base of  the plant already. Yeah!!

I know many of you that live further south are

already enjoying your bulbs, and lilacs, and such.

But this is all really impressive to me considering

it's still just barely hovering above freezing here!

I'm off for a full day of errands and shopping now.

Just what do you have planned for the day?
