In recent days, the temperatures around here have been getting warmer, into the high 70s and low 80s -- a blessed change of pace from what had been a fairly frigid winter. This has occasioned a veritable birthing of critters and peepers we had not seen (or heard) since last year:
-- The carpenter bees are buzzin' around the house.
-- The gnats number in the millions, and every one knows how to bite at my eyelids.
-- Saw two lemon-gold colored butterflies yesterday.
-- That same pair of birds, as every year, is building nests in the overhang of the porch.
-- The wasps are spitting out new homes, and attacking the window screens.
-- And the bats are back!
The other night, this nice friendly bat danced in our headlights the last 0.2 miles to the house. Now, that was a treat, and a true harbinger of a new season.
