Easter is just around the corner and the weather has been very nice for a change. Taxes are done, the Saints won the Super Bowl, and spring has arrived - life is good!
The birds are coming back from their winter havens heading north while some cardinals are looking to establish a residence around here. I have seen a rabbit cross the driveway a couple of times so his warren is somewhere on our land. On Holy Thursday one of our cats, Leo, came to the door with baby bunny rabbit in his mouth! Ellen and I tried to bring it back to health, but it had suffered a skinned backside and some internal injuries. It survived the night into the afternoon of Good Friday, but it like Jesus Christ, was ready to give up its spirit and died. It was a cute little thing - we buried it on the corner spot by the front of the driveway. The trees are sprouting leaves and everyone has gardening fever.
Our budget having been exhausted due to the construction of the house will have to make do with simple plantings and incremental improvements. Time to get the rain barrel into action.
