1.78” rain this week.  Creeks healthy flowing, ponds coming up, ground soggy.  Up to 81F one day, great porch-sitting weather.  Red maple, red buds, wild roses, raspberries budding, grass greening, daffodils blooming profusely, day lilies sprouting. Sandhill cranes  working north.  They're in no hurry, looping this way and that, then around north again.  I doubt they can pass a field sobriety test.  Muskrat nesting under one of the docks. Wood frogs and chorus frogs singing.  Heard the first spring peepers last night.  Deer and turkey making appearances.
