Herd of Turtles
We had plenty of sunshine this weekend, enjoyed by what we can only hope is a large proportion of our pond’s turtles.
The squirrels — all of whom are as fat as house cats — checked out the new growth.
The birds also seemed to enjoy the fine spring weather. Here is a mourning dove.
And, while the early bird may get the worm, he also may have to defend it.
In a cloudier moment, two herons flew over the pond.
The flowers, of course, also thrive in the sunshine. Jen planted lots of daffodils in the fall, and they are coming up all over.
Bravely, she also planted tulips, which she keeps from the deer through the liberal application of Bobbex.
Saturday was Sarah’s first day on the softball team. She showed impressive form, and, sticking with it, got her first hit.
