After a few weeks of "awakening" time things are starting to come out in full bloom. Spring is in full swing, and things are looking great so far. The second set of annuals are blooming, both wild and in the flower bed. More and more birds are being seen as a walks in the evening stretch longer and longer. But most importantly, seeding is fully underway. It is great to see people finally out there since they had to wait so long. In Saskatchewan, this year was the latest spring melt in recorded history. So spring is finally here, and things are finally starting to green up. The outdoors is in full transition to summer mode! I am seeing more variety now in the birds that I spot enjoying the water along the road ways. This pair I caught the other night swimming seemed to be enjoying themselves. I even got to see what it looks like when they decide to scratch a scratch with their foot! Spots of yellow and green are showing up everywhere. As I walk along the roads you can see it coming through everywhere in the ditches. Nature is waking up, and making sure to show it. You can see it happening from the fresh green grass to the next set of wildflowers in bloom. Right now one of my favorite native prairie flowers is in bloom, the prairie golden bean. It is rumored that when this flower is in bloom it is a signal as to when to put cattle back out to pasture. Considering the look of the grasses around, and the time in which is usually shows up I would have to agree with this sentiment. The horsetails are also starting to pop out of the ground. Things are definitely start to green up. Not only on the ground, and around the sloughs, but also the trees. The trees are starting to green up just nicely! The freshly worked spring fields also accompany the fresh green. The birds are singing, and playing in the water. Spring is really here! The sights of spring are all around. Nothing is more testiment to that than the site of this in the fields along the country roads. The green trees, the birds, the green grass, and animals out exploring amoungst the machinery. All reasons why spring out in farming country is best experience.
