There are a few things that hint at spring here in the piedmont of NC… Squirrels nesting, red-shouldered hawks courting, warm days here and there… But when these things show up, you know that spring is just around the corner…




The pileated woodpeckers have been tearing up dead logs and drumming. And every day brings a new sprout, another opened bud, a sparkle of color that wasn’t there the day before.
Spring is coming… Now, if it would just rain a little more.
