There's a massive melt going on here! With mild temperatures over the past couple of days, 12" of snow has disappeared into the ground and the streams. My pond runneth over. Honeybees are out looking for that elusive first flower and picking up anything that looks like pollen, such as dust from the corn on the bird table. The birds think it is spring. Red-winged blackbirds arrived yesterday, and this morning DH spotted wood ducks and hooded mergansers on the open water in the middle of the pond (most of the pond is still iced-over).
