It's here! The warm weather has started and it's wonderful. This week saw temperatures above normal, highs in the upper 40s, 50s and even the upper 60s. Too top it all off I had two days off work to enjoy it all. I took advantage with long walks each day. It was fun to be walking in the warm sun looking out on the frozen lake. Not only did the change in weather make it great to be outdoors, both plants and animals took advantage as well. Finally the robins have shown up, flocks of geese and cranes, goosander, bluebirds, nesting chickadees, and purple finch. Bulbs have started to poke their noses out of the ground, yarrow and poppies are always among the first. Even my herbs are showing color chives, oregano, thyme and sage. It won't be long there is color everywhere. I've even added an extra mile to my commute walking further from the bus and home. Giving myself time to take things in and really enjoy both the large and small changes as they come.

I too liked the pictures of the ice but only in pictures for now. The drawing of the poppy is beautiful. I have always loved poppies and you captured it. Soon the real thing!
