With such a beautiful day a need to to take a woodland hike was a priority. I heard some gobblers and hens doing their springtime courtship calls. The only negative aspect of the hike were the ticks! I removed and terminated at least 22 to 25 of the little critters from my pants.
After I returned home I was blessed to watch my first turkey vulture of the year circling over the house.

Oh no, not ticks already! Last year they caught me by surprise in April.
I did a more urban stroll. Saw crocuses in bloom several places and a lawn full of siberian squill. Saw daffodils and hyacinths with buds, some with a bit of color showing.
The ticks are really bad this year~yuck!!!! I’ve taken A LOT off the “mom’s” cats and her dog! Our cats don’t go out side and our yellow lab and rotty/spaniel mix only go as far as the kennel. Haven’t found any on them yet!
