Signs of spring

• The tripod fell down yesterday (Nenana Ice Classic)
  
• Robins, geese, cranes, etc are back
• Bugs are back
• Hummers are back out too, somehow they too disappeared during winter (low mileage per gallon???)
• It rained!!! First time since... September?
• Mud season by our house where the sun doesn't shine enough to dry things out
• Mud season by the river, too, resulting in some bare knees after the muddy pants got taken off
  

• and still by the river, one can actually see into it, perhaps even half a foot! Now before the glaciers start melting and sending a lot of silt down the river, when one can see barely two inches in.


• Things are about to go green. The buds on trees are about to break. Yay for that, too!
