We have had a considerable amount frigid temperatures and some nice heavy snow drops this pat winter.
Touring the yard today i found the snowdrops in bloom and the daffodils beginning to peak out from their winter slumber.
I am excited again to begin a yard clean up but know from experiance that i need to be patient, Still a bit to early to uncover resting perennials.
Hopefully the tree trimmers will be arriving soon so that i can get some serious work done in those areas.
The birds are returning, wrens, finches, titmice, cardinals, nuthatches and a great variety of woodpeckers.
Our favorite woodpeckers - Pileated (aka WOODY)- are busy completing nesting holes.
We are also seeing the deer in the early morning and late evening.

My biggest worry was the thick covering of ice on my backyard pond. Even though I had a aerator running all winter the ice was so thick that I couldn't see the fish. Great news today the ice is open and all seven are well and doing fine!
