Friday was the Vernal Equinox and as if on cue, this cottontail swamp #rabbit made an appearance in our backyard that morning. I take it as a harbinger of #spring. It’s squeezing in through a gap under the fence to eat the dried corn that the squirrels drop. I usually leave the naming of wild animal visitors (if we must) to others in this household, but they suggested Bugsy. I prefer BOB as in Big Ol’ Bunny.

My strawberry plants are blooming & starting to produce fruit again and this #squirrel was on the job, crawling all over the GreenStalk planter and carefully inspecting their progress.

Caught this #squirrel splooting in one of the trees behind our backyard a few days ago. Sometimes you just need a good sploot. Temperatures here hit 90F (32C) earlier in the week, they’ve since come down to more seasonable coolness, but the sustained summer heat is not far off 😞.
