Spring here in South Central Texas , is the most beautiful time. Tho
we are in the midst of a teerrible drought, we have definite signs of
Spring.

The deer have their summer coats, and bucks have dropped their
antlers.

Flowers and bushes are Blooming... this in cludes BLUEBONNETS, my
personal favorites!

The Turkeys have returned, I have two large beautiful Toms and their
harem of about a dozen large busy hens. Wild turkeys are comon here
and a lot of fun to watch.

Phoebes are repairing and reconstructing the nest on my back porch,
they raise about two families a year in that little nest. Last year I
heard a big commotion and went out. The parents were frantically
trying to protect the babies from a Large rat snake. I took the rat
snake and put him out behind the pond.Hopefully he is happy there, did
not see him any more and all babies fledged.

The Barn Swallows who nest on the front porch come a little later.
The hummingbirds are back, fighting over the feeder.

Spring has pretty much sprung.
