Happy Pi Day [3.14.2010]!

Here is Pi to much more precision than I would ever need.

Mrs Squirrel

Another sure sign of spring - Mrs Squirrel is getting her nest ready for the first litter of the year. I have named her "Sandy". I can keep an eye on her nest out the kitchen window until the leaves come out.

Spring Up

Great Day in March

It was a beautiful, warm day the crocus were blooming and the daffodils are just starting to bloom. I got out the old kite and did one of my annual bucket list things and got it way up high. I then walked back to the pond and checked on the mallards. So far they are doing OK, but I figure a coyote or feral cat will get the eggs or ducklings before they are grown.

Mallards Nesting

Yesterday when I was walking my granddog we flushed these mallards that were nesting back on the pond. I also spotted a couple of small sassafras trees that I wanted to move. So today when I was going back there on the tractor to get the trees, I took the camera and caught these guys before they took off.

February Snow Moon - 3 Days Full

The weather has been so dreary that I haven't been able to get a photo of the February Snow Moon. Even though the weather this morning was forecasted as cloudy and possible snow flurries, I caught a break and captured the Snow Moon in it's 3 day old best.

Lion or Lamb?

I don't know how to characterize the beginning of March. It didn't come in like a very ferocious lion nor was it what I would consider a mild, meek lamb. It seemed like a continuation of the grungy February weather we have been having. One thing is for sure the groundhog did not see his shadow on the beginning of March, so we can rule out any of his predictions.
I guess, as usual we will take what comes and be happy. We are definitely closer to warmer weather than we were.
