jennlkSaturday we went to the (Detroit) zoo. There were only a few animals off exhibit due to the weather -- the ground was still a bit too cool for a couple of the more tropical animals. Lots of turtles basking, and ducks and swans nesting.
Sunday it rained most of the day. So much for getting into the garden over the weekend. It's probably too wet to get out there today, although I will check later.
Last night I heard the first froggie of the year (I think it was actually a toad, but they're all "froggies"). I knew that we hadn't lost all the amphibians in the pond, as one went scurrying for cover a couple of days ago as I walked past the pond, but I hadn't seen or heard one. (still haven't seen one, but that will come -- if the sun comes out today, I'm sure they'll be out.)
The small lilac in the front yard is just about ready to leaf out, as is the willow tree, and the rowan has fuzz on its leafbuds. The double daffodils in the NW bed bloomed Saturday, but that's pretty much all the new flowers -- the Chionodoxa (snow glories) and anemones and wind flowers in the side bed bloomed mid week.
