Today it is Spring, well Spring came a while ago, but we didn't feel it or see it before today.How do I know it is Spring? Easy. Let me count the ways for you:
There were 4 robins on the lawn today.
The lilac bushes have tiny buds on them and thier boughs are filled with Chickadees and Titmouse.
A pair of Downey Woodpeckers and several Nuthatches are bounceing up and down the trees.
Most of the ice in the brook is gone.
Snowdrops, crocuses, and Daffolis are peeking up through the dry brown leaves.
The warm breeze of salt air is coming in off the ocean, filling the air with the sweet sent of seaweed.
The bantams are starting to lose their warm winter down, and the Silver Penciled and Silver Birchin breeds are changeing from white to grey.
The dirt are the rich scent of freshness just waiting to be tilled.
Mayflies are swiming in the brook, and waterskippers dance their dainty ballets across the top.
...there is a rainbow trout hiding under the bridge...
??
in the more than 300 year history our family has had with this brook, never before has a fish been in it. Where he came from and how he got there I do not know. Why he is staying or how long he plans to stay, I know not either. But he is welcomed to stay for as long as the water is running. One can never have too many animals in their yard, what with the hundreds here all ready, what's one more?
And so I go on, happy to rejoice at Spring's arrival.
And so it goes today in the life of EelKat.
