A cool spring weekend...

Although the sun was shining all weekend, it wasn't super warm.  We went turkey hunting and saw every bird possible, except a turkey.  We saw hawks, wood ducks, other ducks, geese, kingfishers, meadowlarks, robins, black birds, and even heard some pheasants.    We only heard one gobble far far away.  Still it was very fun to sit and enjoy the sounds of spring.  
 I got some quick shots of the geese as they swam away.  They nest along the river.  
 At the home front, my orchard is blooming.  I'm pretty excited about that.  I thought they were fickel to keep as a houseplant.  This fella has been a pretty easy keeper.
 My seedlings look great.  At some point, I need to transplant them.
In the Black Hills the snow has melted and the pasque flowers are making their appearance.
Another weekend flew by.  We kept busy.  I hope everyone had a happy Easter.

  1. That orchid is lovely. You saw more birds than we did at the nature reserve the other day.

  2. Busy weekend here too--I've been laying down mulch on all my beds, 42 yards! However, everything looks so good. My Vibernum are spectacular and the hydrangeas, peonies, and roses are all have blooms that should burst this week with the warm temperatures. Loved seeing your geese, makes me remember the flocks that came to our pond when we lived in Connecticut.
