The Loons Are Back!


I took this picture last year, actually, but the loons are coming back at this very moment. Just read a couple of days ago that they’re hanging around the southern part of the state a little longer because it’s still so cold up North.

We live about as far south as you’ll find loons in the upper midwest. I’m so glad we’re still in their territory because there’s nothing quite like lying in bed with the windows open in the summer and listening to their mournful call. It’s so beautiful. I’ll try to get a picture this summer of the babies on their parents’ backs. That is cool.

Jack cleaned out the wren house, this morning, and then positioned it in the cranberry bush so that we’ll have a “bird’s eye” view of the comings and goings this year right through the kitchen window.

Soon we’ll be out cleaning out the lakescaping and the perennial beds. I. CAN. HARDLY. WAIT!!! We’ve only been back from our winter travels about six weeks and I just said to Jack that it seems like we’ve been here all winter!

It’s only 29 degrees right now. High is supposed to reach 43. We’ll see about that. Sunny today and tomorrow and then I think we’re due for some more yukky stuff. Will keep you posted .(natch).
