It has finally dried out this weekend and felt like spring. Bluegrass, dandelions, asparagus, and tiny pea plants are emerging. Children are playing baseball and soccer, riding scooters and bikes, and wanting to stay up past bedtime to greet the night. It is the beginning of the last full month of school.
Like migrating songbirds, schoolchildren continue their migration from home to school and back, eager to explore more verdant places when the final bell rings.
On Friday, I saw a yellow-rumped warbler, a blue-gray flycatcher, and a ruby-crowned kinglet, as well as an expanding population of sunny marsh marigolds at the nature center. A few fluffy yellow goslings are in the pond in the TW neighborhood north of the center. I love spring!
