April showers covers flowers

Well typical of April weather to remind us not to put our coats up yet. Looks like we are getting a dusting of snow for the next couple days. And the warm days of April have been put on hold for another week. The only good thing about April snow is you know it can't hang long. The daffodils had just made it up in time to greet the snow and the crocus are not far behind.

The tom turkeys have been strutting their stuff this last week and today Scooter gave chase to a large tom down by the Hooke camp.
I think he had more fun chasing the bird then the bird had getting away. I also saw a large groundhog hiding under Brad's outbuilding in Cedar Run today. Thor took a look a bit late to see the the groundhog, but tracked it down to under the building. He stuck his nose under hoping to get a better sniff. Luckily the groundhog stayed far away.
We used to have a lot of groundhogs up here, but haven't seen many in the last 15 years. Some people think the coyotes have ate them all. I am sure the bobcat family we have close had a hand in the groundhog's population decline as well.
The creeks are running clean and strong and there is nothing like that soothing sound when I am working. I don't dare sit down and listen long or I would be done working for the day. I feel lucky to have such a pleasant working environment. Have a great Leetonia day! Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.
