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?
