If my frogs stay on schedule I'll hear them this week.
For years and years we used to have a regional competition
the around the 5-7th of March. I always heard the frogs
that week - took it as a good omen for competition and
we always won!
I see iris coming up on Iris Island. Had a blue heron by
the pond around 6:30am the other morning. Redwing
blackbirds are having a block party in my backyard.

I'm feeling envious due to living in Canadian zone 4a close to zone 3.
No pond yet, because the fish would need to be inside for 7 to 8
months of the year, but still dreaming!
