Today, all is hushed with rain. But yesterday, before the
clouds rolled in, I took a paddle on the creek, and I was delighted to find the
lovely changes that are unfolding on, what seems to be, a minute-to-minute
basis! I was delighted to see that that some of the resident Canadian Geese
have expanded their families, and they were all out for a swim. I also
surprised a muskrat; it was on land, and when it heard me, it leaped headlong,
into the water. I’ve yet to see my beloved Great Blue Herons, but I’m sure they
will be making their debut on the creek soon. I did delight in discovering that
our annual visitors, the Least Sandpipers, are making their way back north, and
showing up on our banks. I love to watch their meanderings, as they run helter
skelter, weaving back and forth, tails bobbing, while, all the while, their
peep-peep-peeping fills the air with the announcement of their arrival. Also, one
of my favorite spring flowers, wild geranium is in bloom. What a delight! But
my favorite springtime sight of all is the view of an apple tree bedecked in
pink and white blossoms, while a carpet of yellow dandelions loll at its feet!
