No, that picture wasn’t taken today – it’s from several years ago, but it was taken on March 13. A reminder that in spite of the foot of snow outside my door, we’re really getting close to spring. And I really need to start putting some time into my usual whirlwind of spring gardening activities.…
Just down the road from me… I need to find time to stop by and see the new babies. Lincoln Squirrel article
