Party in the Pine Trees

Spring is here at last! It is a glorious day, blue sky and temperature above freezing. The yard is part brown, toys are emerging from the retreating glaciers, puddles are everywhere. And the baby squirrels have woken up. There are currently no less than eight (they are very hard to count) tearing around in the giant pines at the back of the house. Chasing and chirruping and leaping about. From pines, to ground, to garage roof, to shed, and back. Very fun to watch in the chill, but not cold, wind. They also were assessing the inside of the shed for living quarters earlier, but Kevin chased them out. Ahhh, spring arrives. As we got four inches of snow two days ago, the melt down is much appreciated.
