April! April! April!
day sit with the boy and the dog.
the bare spots below the trees are joining now, creating long carpets of soft earth to walk on, skirting the snow. very warm out, up to 60, with a light breeze. everything is soggy and brown.
the trees are resounding with the songs of robins, chickadees, jays, goldfinches. today saw the arrival of juncos, tree swallows, nuthatches, purple finches, and my first sighting of house finches - so brilliant crimson! (peterson's doesn't do them justice.) male goldfinches are coming into bloom, and robins cover the ground and fill the air and the treetops.
