Spring...Maybe

Here's a lovely sight in our back yard!  Green things are popping up out of the ground...finally!!  We've even gotten some rains  (which is good because we are still officially in a drought, I think).
But, don't let these temperatures fool you!!  They are forecasting an ice storm for NW Iowa this evening. Rain here, hopefully.  But, the temps will fall, needless to say. I think it is supposed to get down to 28 early Thursday... BRR!!
This is a shot of the pond behind us.  Its kind of muddy because we had quite a lot of rain this  morning.  I was trying to record the sound of the tree frogs, but only had this shot.  But, the frogs get sooooo loud around here that we try not to sleep with the windows open because it is too noisy.  At first, they are sort of soothing and a sure sign that spring is here.  But then they just are annoying.... So much for Nature....

Any who, just wanted to acknowledge Spring...as fleeting as it seems to be. Enjoy it while you can!
