Boo's last trip home for a long while

Boo is home for a visit before she heads off to Grasslands for the summer. She'll be doing field work there similar to what she's been doing for the past two summers at our local tall grass preserve.

We had a house full again this weekend sending Boo off with a grand feast of food, friends and family. She's been quite sick with some serious infection surrounding her trachea I think she said. It was cutting her access to air quite badly so our fine health care services intervened. Hopefully she'll be back to full steam shortly.

I got a good start on making a road into the wood pile later on this afternoon. What a beautiful day to be outside. The tics are out! They are just beginning, but it won't be long before I don't want to walk in the tall grass. There's always so much work to do and so little energy to do it. Allergies are getting underway with the snow mould and pussy willows in plentiful supply. The frogs made their entrance this past week and we had a new bird stop by.

Some of them had some wonderfully orange tones to their plumage. It's so weird to have all these winter birds around when the spring ones are arriving.
