Moving slowly; seeing the sights
I'm gimping around with a sore quad these days so have slowed down substantially...all the way down to a walk as a matter of fact.

- three turkey vultures and a hawk floating along the thermals (probably waiting for me to drop from 3 mph to 0 mph so I'd be easy pickin's);
- a fox closely guarding its den where, I discovered the next day, at least one kit is being raised;
- a clucking crow;
- tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and even some pansies popping up...not to mention blossoms about to burst forth on the fruit trees;
Keep your eyes wide open folks, ya' never know what you may see in this wild wonderful world of ours!

Quintessential spring
Spring is in fine form:- itty bitty ants are roaming the restroom floor at my volunteer job
- dandelions are bursting forth
- chirpy red red robins are bob bob bobbin' all along the trail
- and, of course, our weather forecast is calling for highs of 50s today and a foot of snow tonight
