Spring is here

The ice was out of our pond on March 24th and daffodils, iris, and day lilies began to poke through the soil. On April 1st, the Spring Peepers, and Wood frogs began to sing at night--a true sign of spring. We can hear them at night, even with the windows closed. The weather was warmer than usual, and the magnolia tree was in full bloom in one or two days when the temperature on April 7 and 8, was 84 and 79 degrees. The weather these past few days has been cooler, especially at night, so the flowers have lasted longer. We hope the early rush of Spring does not turn to weather cold enough to bring snow in April!
