We had a difficult time of it last week as a combination of an errant jet stream and an Atlantic storm brought unseasonable cold and snow to much of the country. It's all back to normal now, with mild weather and that little hint of warmth in the air that means Spring is on the way. The days are lengthening rapidly and the light is brighter as the Sun moves higher in the sky.
For the first time in many years the aquatic facilities on the estate [pond out the back:Ed] are free from plant cover; last year I threw out the heavily overgrown beds of snake grass, irises and miscellaneous grass and weeds and have yet to replace them. The question is - will the much greater extent of open water attract back the frogs? We can only hope.
