Spring is in the air!






As we finally got outside to enjoy some warm weather, we noticed a robin making plans to move into the nest in our Japanese Maple. This tree didn't turn out "looking" the way I had hoped but we have enjoyed season after season of robin's laying their eggs, seeing the babies grow up and then fly away. A good "cycle of life" lesson for the kids. It's also that time of year when Lauren, the neighborhood animal rescue hero, checks all the local window wells for fallen victims- usually baby bunnies. We've also rescued turtles, frogs, mice, a woodchuck and even a kitty in the 3 years we've been here. Today we saw deer in the field across the way and at night the coyotes have been spotted. Spring is such a wonderful season as the animals have their babies and they too enjoy the warmer weather. The miracle of life is so fascinating and I'm grateful enough to witness it each time I go to work. Happy Spring!
