Signs of Spring (post them here)

First tornado warning of the year, that’s what signals spring in Kansas

One good thing about needing to be outside with my dog because the back door won’t open and the fence is in poor enough shape that it really only serves as a visual barrier for him, is that I pick up after him every time, so no thawing dog droppings in this dog owner’s yard

Heard my first blackbird of 2021 in full song earlier today.

Headphones recommended:

Ticks.

Two baby rabbits. They're very late this year- previous years, I've seen them happily wandering around in a February blizzard.

Two large bullfrogs are out in the garden pool and the red slider turtle.Saw a garter snake sunning the other day.
Hyacinths in bloom.

In the last few days, my first bee of the year and first butterfly. The bee was a huge bumblebee- probably a queen who's just emerged from hibernation and is starting a new colony.

Mosquito wrigglers in the rain water collection tubs.

Sudden outbreak of ducklings- at least two families at once. Three baby rabbits in the tiny garden behind the supermarket- they hide between the daffodils.
