J.K.M. Friday, March 28. Insects buzz about a wood pile. Yesterday, from under the feeders, I heard, for the first time this year, the doves cooing. I heard chickadee mating sounds from the woods this past week. Friday, March 28.
Some areas are very muddy and other areas are ok.
Some of the roads that were built over swampy areas are worse for travel. Other roads that are constructed well and banked properly aren't so muddy. Even in the paved ways there seems to be a difference in road conditions. I noticed just today that some paved ways are rutted where the tires run. They were not that bad before the winter thaw.
