Spring

[ionelv]

Today, this morning, shortly after sunrise, I spotted two woodpeckers, heard a third one, spotted two separate groups of half dozen deer each in the fields along the highway. A few days ago, I spotted lots of deer at dusk in the fields, the first cardinals in a long time, a few white swans flying over the highway and many dozens in the fields and heard plovers plaintive cries overhead. Spring is afoot.
