Been a While

First, possum news--Frankie, Lulu, and Oscar no longer come around.
Two new possums showed up--really skittish ones--never stayed long
enough to finish the food--eat for about 10 minutes and then left.  I
woke up at 0200 one night and looked and saw a "possum" standing
on his hind legs.  My first racoon.  And the Possum Trot Cafe is
officially closed.  Possums are one thing--racoons do carry rabies; they
will bite.  Not the kind of animal you want hanging around your house.

At least the weather is warmer, so I did manage to feed the possums
through the winter.

The blue birds--I haven't seen in a while, so I guess they left before we
got their houses placed.   I haven't seen the barn swallows in a while either.

It will soon be time for the hummers.  I have feeders ready and waiting
for them.

The plum tree is blooming out; daffodils are in bloom.  The Forsythia bushes
are blooming.  I love Spring!
