Now that Spring has 'sprung' I'm looking for signs that Summer is coming soon. I'm still bringing the bird feeders in at night to foil the raiding racoons. While I was doing that little chore tonight I noticed some sparks of light - fireflies! A sure sign of summer is the meadow lit up w. them. The early little violets and pussytoes in the lawn have stopped blooming. Now I have bold colored orange hawkweed sprouting up along w/ ox-eyed daisies in the tall grass. If I was going to sit for awhile in the house yesterday and today I grabbed a sweater since it was a bit cool. Tomorrow temps are forecast to be in the 90's and humid. The Northwoods doesn't hit those kind of temps until late summer. It's already smelling a bit like a catbox outside. Building humidity, heat, and all of that manure spread on the fields is a fairly potent mix. Hope there is a wind tomorrow - and it's blowing from the right direction.
