I’m closely watching for good spring signs. Here are a few.
More and stronger signs will soon be appearing!

#ScenicSaturday 23rd March 2024
A beautiful stream, courtesy of Stuart Aken.
We’re having a rainy weekend. It’s a very slow, soaking rain that’s excellent for our officially still-dry conditions – thankfully this area was removed from the drought list in January – so I’m definitely not going to complain about it, especially as the temperature is still relatively warm.
I’ll be happy to see the return of some sun, though …
… which is supposed to occur by Monday.
Happy Sunday.
A few evenings ago as we were returning home from a nearby restaurant, we saw a couple of night strollers.
After stopping at the bank, they continued across the road to a park.
Completely unconcerned about our presence, they were like any other couple out for an evening constitutional, except that they tended to ignore the traffic signals.
These aren’t the best photos because I took them with my cell, but the deer still look adorable. I love that they feel comfortable enough to come wandering through, without fear or worry.
Happy Friday.

Happy Thursday.
There are springy signs everywhere! First, I noticed a few days ago that the red maples have very suddenly started budding.
These trees are loaded with pink buds that are so pretty against the blue sky.
They will soon be leafing in great profusion.
Then I saw that the large koi in the Japanese garden fish pond have come through the winter and their dormancy in good shape.
Passing near the creek the always-hungry ducks were happy to see us with our bag of quinoa snacks, and I noticed that the green head feathers of the males are beginning to turn very iridescent, a sign that they will soon be mating.
I hope signs of spring are happening where you are, too.
Happy Wednesday.
