more tracks at BBB

Mid-February, we finally had snow...about four inches.  And now, just two weeks later, it's sunny and 76 degrees.  Indiana spring!  

I don't know why we draw so many cardinals, but I love it...especially in the snow!  They make such a beautiful contrast.

It was really coming down for a while...

...but as usual, our post-snow weather was bright and sunny.

A few bird tracks...

...and a peach splash of urine marked the progress of these deer.

Even with snow and colder temperatures, the daffodils were pushing through.

Just a week after this snow, more signs of spring.  Red maples were dropping buds...

...and we started seeing more green on our hikes.

Lots of animal tracks told us that these little guys were getting more active!

Even in the brown of late winter, I love Bean Blossom Bottoms. 

Borga has trodden these boards for the last time, though.  She used to be a pretty intrepid hiker...

...but now she can't walk for more than five minutes without needing to be carried.

So we're hiking without her this spring.  She's staying home, catching some ZZZZZs

She's got good company.

Have a great week!
