Dusk sounds

dusk sit.

robins, spring peepers, and two other kinds of frogs were all chanting their separate choruses tonight, together in the twilight. air was moving slowly over the land, carrying a chill with it. we are expected to be in the upper 60s by friday.

swallows are repopulating the air. little red squirrel made an appearance today, along with our usual sparrows, under the feeders. two crocuses are in bloom in the front garden - our first flowers of the year, not counting the forsythia i brought inside a couple of weeks ago. autumn glory, yarrow, and chives all have a couple of inches of growth under the mulch already, and garlic is poking up above the straw we laid over it last fall.

the "greening of the earth" is happening.
