Argy and I walk most mornings and it is great way to keep up with the changes going on around us as the seasons change. This morning we were treated to a group of tom turkeys gobbling at each other before leaving the roost. It has been a week or more since we heard the first gobbling of the spring a few tentative gobbles at first. This was quite loud with several toms gobbling at once.
I take a first aid and CPR course every other year so that I am always certified part of my commitment to provide safe trips for clients. My final class for this year was last evening. When I left the house it was snowing but not amounting to much, the roads on the way in were just wet. As the evening went by we could see out the windows that the snow was starting to really come down and it has been a long time since I had to drive home in a near white out!
Spring is well on its way here. The brooks are running bank full as the snow slowly melts, the fields are free of snow for the first time since Christmas and the birds have begun to return. This week Argy and I were on our evening walk and I commented that the woodcock should be back soon no sooner were the words out of my mouth and we could hear that unmistakable twitter overhead. They are back!
