Spring is sprinkling!

Driving home last night in torrential rain last night there were frogs all over the road, another sign that spring is really here. Of course, today there are not many roads left as the rain washed many away. Still fine for the frogs though.

Spring Fling

The spring bulbs are starting to bloom, such a wonderful and joyful sight! Each day another green shoot appears and I try to remember what it is!

The cats are more than ready to spend time outside and drive me crazy begging to have a leash on and go for a walk. Smokey is my tough cat and more than happy to tramp through the snow still remaining under the trees. Solomon has to be carried across the snowy bits!
I heard the geese back a week ago and this morning, being it was a toasty 40 F out I took coffee in the screen porch. The bird song was glorious and I was delighted to hear loons calling down on the pond!

Yesterday was a spring celebration in Belfast, Maine. Stores were offering tasty snacks and a group of mostly fiddle players were wandering store to store playing wonderfully joyful music. It really feels as if spring is here!
