Spring is on the ground

Suddenly the ground is green. Normally it's muddy brown for most of the winter, but this year it was brown for only a day or so before it started to get tinged in green, and already green is dominant. When the snow receded, we could see the moles' winter handiwork which had been hidden. Silly me, I thought they were hibernating.

The moles aren't the only creatures which have been exposed. Other rodents also appear to be abundant. My cats have also been enjoying more time outdoors, sometimes even staying out all night. Yesterday morning I was greeted with parts from three rodents on the doorstep. I'll spare you the picture of that.

No flowers here yet, but it feels like it shouldn't be long now.
