Early April here in the mid-Hudson Valley is nothing to write home about - no greening up yet, no flowers, not even the Forsythia. Soon, but not yet.

The only difference between early April and winter (besides the lack of snow) is that the pond has defrosted, which means the peepers are at it every night. It's not noisy by the house, but as soon as you walk past the garage and turn the corner, the cacophony hits you! It IS nice to finally hear the birds chirping again - winter is so quiet.


It rained today and I was lucky to catch some droplets hanging on the white lilac buds.


Back to knitting on the 3rd of 5 panels for the new afghan design.
