Spring?

It seems that spring is coming later and later every year.  It sure felt like spring or summer really when we got temperatures well over 70 on Saturday, but it was back to rain on Sunday.  We were looking back at previous April dates to see what the apple trees were doing.

This is from this morning.  Not much going on there.

By this time most years the onions were up and the tomato plants were in.  Not sure why we are so far behind this year.

We did have a late snow a few weeks back.  The froggies came out prior to the snow and went back to bed to wait for spring I guess.  They are out in full force now.  We saw these guys on a walk at Narbeck last week.

Here are what I think are salamander eggs.

It's hard to tell from this distance.  There are hundreds of eggs in that jelly like ball.

Those are such wonderful photos! I love seeing all the different wildlife house bloggers have in their areas. It's taking a while for the ground to thaw here in Des Moines. I have a feeling that's going to make for good morel mushroom hunting in a few weeks though.
