Spring life is, well springing forth, after the Wisconsin winter. I hung my finch feeder yesterday, and today a pair of goldfinches are enjoying the food. I’ve had suet out for a week, hoping for woodpeckers, but have not seen them yet.
Dogwood trees are flowering and the other trees have little green buds.
Daffodils, tulips and crocuses emerged in the past few weeks.
A couple of friends were in a comedy stand-up show last night, it was their graduation from a beginner class at Second City. Well done! The whole class would have been middle of the pack quality at some of the professional shows I’ve seen around Chicago.
Tomorrow I leave for a 3-day trip deep into the north woods to open my friend’s cabin for the warm months. We will work hard, clearing fallen trees from the trails, making repairs, draining the water where it floods the road. At night we will feast, then sleep, then repeat.
This is the most action-packed off-week since I started a new job two months ago, with a schedule of 7 days on/7 days off.
