If feels like, looks like and smells like spring.
I love that early morning outdoors smell in the spring
(I DO NOT LOVE the TREE POLLEN that goes along with it).
We have bluebirds, wood ducks, tree swallows, BRIGHT yellow goldfinches and my Phoebe is back! This weekend we had swarms of Chimney Swifts over the back yard - they are gone now, leaving only a few tree and barn swallows to handle the spring swarms of insects in the air.
Last evening Birding Dad took me on a long quiet golf-cart ride around the property. We haven't done that since last summer and it was perhaps the defining moment of my Spring awareness.
I am blessed, I love my yard (I do not love all the work that is yet to be done) and our wildlife (I do not love the numerous groundhog holes).
I invite you all to come visit ... any spring/summer evening ... to listen to the peepers, watch the deer and maybe a glass of wine on the deck.
This could be the entire reason we kill ourselves work, to support our "habit" of loving this place!
You can visit the "our backyard" album on the sidebar for some pictures from seasons past.
