May Activities

Grass has a green hue, flowers are beginning to poke thru the ground, peepers and wood frogs are practicing their chorus, meadow is flooded thanks to snow melt/rain and beaver work at dam spillway which has resumed (beaver plugs it up at night and every morning the girls & I open it up to allow for a "gentle" flow to lower water level) ... we've been out in the Peddleboat several times ... prediction of 80 degree temps this first week of May will allow planting at the Church flower garden!
AND NO BUGS!!!

Agility practice to usher in May!
