First Day of Spring

This morning in honor of the first day of Spring there was a coating of ice on the pond.



The sun was bright enough to coax the first daffodils to open.  These are miniatures that I purchased last year in the supermarket to have a touch of Spring inside.  I'm glad I transplanted them outside because they are a delight to see. 

These daffodils won't be long in opening.



Birds are busy.  This woodpecker has decided to use the fence corner to hold the sunflower seed while he pecks it open.







Crocuses are still in bloom but some are fading fast. 








Frogs have laid eggs.




Bluebirds are laying claim to the birdhouse.



A few other critters allowed themselves to be photographed.
