Spring has Sprung





And suddenly everything is blooming. Grasses are green and the forest floor is now lush. Flowers are popping up everywhere and the orchard trees have come to life. The air smells sweet and bees are hard at work buzzing audibly near any mass of flowers. The resident chipmunks have come out from their winter home having added two new members to their family. We have been enjoying regular visits from a bunny, some racoons, and many new types of birds who have come to call at the feeders. It is such a joy to be surrounded by such a grand celebration of the rejuvenation of spring.
