'Twas a beauteous day in Spring and all the boids were on the wing.
Oh my woid, how absoid,
I thought the wing was on the boid!

Our winter begins and ends with our rain. Everything turns green and if we get enough we'll have wild flowers. The birds are nesting, the gophers are proliferating, creeks run, and Ducks pair off, we have a momma mallard in the creek and two daddies following her. The oxalis blooms in the front lawn, and all the pollywogs in Diane's fish pond have turned into full voiced frogs. The skunks are leaving us alone, I guess they are holed up having babys. along with the possems, raccoons, wood rats, and field mice. Our phoebes didn't leave this winter, so I don't know where they are nesting, with the rains they may not build in our eaves, they do love the water and eat a lot of bugs. The bald eagles they left around our reservoir have increased and now ther are today there are more than 7,000 pairs in California. Life is good!
