witches whiskers

Lily heard a spring peeper in the woods by school yesterday. It was a sunny day around 7 or 8 degrees. And our neighbour spotted mama robin flying into the nest by our back door with a beak full of dry grass. Spring is here. 👍

First peepers over the years (amazingly consistent except for that one year):

2011 – April 12

2012 – April 12

2013 – April 20

2014 – April 15

2015 – May 2 (year of the massive snowfall)

2016 – April 9

2017 – April 12

2018 – April 11
