It is Spring here ! The deer are losing Antlers, found drop horns all
ready. It is Spring here, the Phoebes are occupying their nest on my
back porch. It is really Spring here, the turkeys are around all day,
right now there are a dozen bored hens being herded around by a
gorgeous Tom, who displays constantly. The wild flowers are starting
to bloom, the Ouisatch Tree is covered with fuzzy yellow flowers ! It
is certainly Spring here, saw my first red ribbon snake yesterday.
Every day there is something new and wonderful to see.
