It was noticeable a few weeks ago when my allergies started up, but it's been visibly noticeable the last couple weeks. Those ghastly Bradford Pears are blooming, and will be stinking it up soon. Our maples have little red tufts on them. The bulbs have sprouted their leaves; daffodils elsewhere are in full-bloom. The peepers have returned. Last week I spied the first small grasshopper. Tuesday night, while burning a brush pile, we spied a possom finding quite the buffet on the back slope. We also heard a pack of coyotes in the distance. Later a couple of amphibians started a short chorus at the creek, to be taken up by another group farther off in the woods. DH followed a rabbit around the yard for a bit as well. Oh, and we have our first two gnats/fruit flies of the season in the house. *grumble*

The maple at the head of the old driveway. Can no longer recall
if it is a Red Maple or a Silver Maple. We need to restart our tree
study of the property... |

Yeah, I don't remember what this tree was either...might be one of the
tulip poplars, or a horse chestnut.... |
