We just had about six inches of snow down here. Perhaps next year we'll shoot for a June bioblitz. It's good to get the bugs out early, so to speak. It will definitely be interesting, Bev.

I loved hearing about your encounter with the Opossum. It was almost like being there! - John - Oh, I'll definitely "hang in" for awhile yet. Spring has to be right around the corner. Actually, the snow is all gone again and it feels balmy and springlike... the woods look misty and the air is filled with the songs of so many birds. I'll put my tall rubber boots on and go for a walk to the creed to check for Wood Frogs in a little while. There was no activity yesterday, but I'm guessing the frogs will make an appearance today.

I saw opossum tracks in the light dusting of snow a few nights ago and so I'm tossing over-ripe apples and stale bread along the fence line. Probably foolish to tamper with nature, but I'm weak. I'll never forget the encounter in the backyard, years ago - snow falling gently as I looked up into a white pine just a foot or so from my face and found myself eye to eye with a sweet little possum - it's pink toes delicately grasping the evergreen. I just stood there with the snow sifting down around the two of us. It brings tears to my eyes - just remembering. Bev – I’ve only done the Opossum link so far and it was, as you say – a great read.
