Ready for Takeoff
We returned from a long absence (okay, two weekends) to find many signs of spring.
At school, Sarah just finished a segment called “Wild Northeast,” in which each student selected a northeastern animal or plant (only two kids picked plants) and wrote a little book about it. Sarah chose the Northern Spring Peeper (seen here and here). She was a bit ambivalent about the return of this blue heron, who comes to the pond to eat — you guessed it, Northern Spring Peepers.
Another sure sign of spring is the return of the Canada Geese. I chased them out of the pond on Saturday and Sunday. There were also scaups and a pair of mallards.
We did a little spring cleaning on Saturday, clearing out the flower beds.
Sarah was up early on Sunday to see what was in her Easter basket.
Later, we hosted an egg hunt.
