SPRINGTIME 2021, Week 3: Let's start the sequence with Early Bird, er, Bush, the one which started the spring sequence. Here it is again, this time with the road in the background. More flowering, many more leaves.

Now for the usual pond view. Nothing much yet, except that our 'butterfly bush' has flowered. It's a lovely red, which unfortunately doesn't show up well (if at all) on camera due to the cloudy day.

The trees are showing signs of budding out, but no colors yet. Probably another 2 weeks before we see signs of color. I had hopes for the next view, if only because I was expecting to have the new barn's pad finished.

False hope -- I took another tree down that was too near the barn location on Saturday and expected to have the stump pulled out by today but it defeated me and the tractor by being too big and too deeply buried. Tomorrow my neighbor and I will use his (much bigger) Bobcat to hopefully dig it out. Maybe next week there'll be a nice flat and somewhat landscaped pad surrounded by budding trees....

Finally, a new view of the pond from near the barn location. With more trees cleared out and the brush removed, we should finally have a view of the pond fountain from our yard.

Till next week, then.
