Watching Spring Arrive

What a gift - to have time to sit and watch spring arrive!  I can see a difference from sun up to sun down each day in how much green comes into the view.  Other changes are arriving with the green:  I'm hearing more bird songs; I saw some sort of large animal tracks in the muddy part of the driveway (deer, I hope); and the carpenter bees, wasps, and mosquitoes have arrived!  

The driveway leading down to the gravel road

Where I spend as much time as the insects will allow!  (If you look closely, there is a wasp on the little green table to the left of the chair.)
