Jeepers, Creepers

The Spring Peepers down by our creek are raising their little voices in song these days. In fact, it sounds more like they are trying to out-shout each other. The volume is incredible!

Not only the frogs feel that Spring is worth singing about. We had another lovely day today. My hyacinths are now blooming too, and many of my other perennials and bulbs are coming up. I wanted to fling open the windows to let the fresh air in, and the stale, winter air out. Unfortunately, the flying insects are floating in waves over our yard, and I really didn't want to let them inside!

L and I worked for a couple of hours washing the window screens that have been in storage all winter, then washing the windows, and putting the screens in. Now they are all open to the evening air.

We ate our dinner on the deck, and stayed there, enjoying the view, until the sun went down. L announced that this day was "more awesomer!"

I agree.
