This Week at Iten's Acres: Variety March 27, 2016

This week at The Acres: Wide range of temperatures. Daffodils seem oblivious. Grape hyacinths are starting to bloom joining their big brothers the regular hyacinth. And it's Spring Break. I shall daily get to frolic among the beauty. (Frolic in my soul. The body is past the frolic stage.) And the goldfinch are starting to bloom in earnest! And, of course, more flowers.

This Week at The Acres: Early Spring Continues March 19. 2016

This Week at The Acres: Mixed Messages. Just a couple snow birds feeding today. Goldfinch are starting to put on their summer wear. Daffodils and hyacinth are starting to bloom.but . . .
Forsythia bloomed--three more snows!!!!!!

This Week at The Acres: More Beauty March 12, 2016

This week at The Acres:  possum, skunk, cats--four of them (the two calico, big orange, and gray eye patch), goldfish, and--alas and alack--the snowbirds are still here.  And flowers, of course!  The lungwort has started to bloom.  Daffodils too.  Aconite.  Tons of orchard iris and crocus.  More Lenten rose.  And one poor, confused fall crocus.

Today at Iten's Acres: All Creatures Great and Small March 6, 2016

Last night was an "all creatures great and small" night. First, the little calico was waiting when I got home. She has--except on snowy or rainy days--decided to hang out at The Acres. Though she still doesn't trust me, she is staying somewhat closer when I take out the cat food. She is there in the morning when I leave, and there in the evening when I return. I am owned. Her "mom" dropped by yesterday evening as well. She just ignores me.
After they left--again, I have no idea where they go--the possum showed up. Once he left, the raccoon showed up. Finally, after they left--yes, they--the skunk showed up. Guess which one I didn't chase away. Yep, the creatures are about--all of them. Spring may actually be coming.
