Learning to Blog

This is my first attempt at blogging. It has been a beautiful and busy spring. Skunks and a red fox have been regulars at the compost pile. Killdeer babies have already hatched and are out hiding in the fields. The American toad tadpoles now have prominent eyes but still are not showing any signs of legs sprouting. Flea beetles and cucumber beetles are on their usual feeding frenzy to our dismay. There was a wood frog that spent the whole winter in or at least near the wooden hot tub. The barn swallows are back building their nest on the down spout. At this posting, they should have finished their mud nest. Last year, they raised 3 broods!
