Toad eggs in the pond

Bsltimore oriole in the backyard

the quince is flowering, as are the random fruit & nut trees behind the garage (J moved them from where the birds had 'planted' them, and they're still not mature enough to bear fruit/nuts ,so we're still not sure what they are)

It was warm enough today that I opened the windows for more than a few minutes; and I hung a load of laundry on the line. That last was a bit of a chancy thing, as neighbors have been burning things, but so far there's been no burning. Things are probably dry enough now that I can go pull everything off.... I cleaned and put away the heated birdbath, and put out the unheated one. They tell us that it may freeze again, but the unheated birdbath is deep enough that it has to be below freezing for more than a few hours before it freezes solid, and until it freezes solid hot tap water is sufficient to loosen the layer of ice on top.

J cleaned the pond today - he still has to figure out what he wants to do with the rill to keep the varmints from digging into it.

I need to go pull weeds in the E garden, but my shoulder is being cranky. It's better than it was last week, so there's that, but I don't want to go do something that will set me back. PT was extended for another four weeks because they're still trying to get it aligned properly and the muscles rebalanced. The clinic is in communication with my doctor, and they all seem confident that they'll get it mostly worked out by the end of the month.
