This weekend we saw our first upper 60's low 70's temps, spring has finally sprung! Our day lily's are starting to come up and the first real thunderstorms rolled through all night last night. They were quite the sight and the big "booms" had us up for most of it (well Mommy anyway). I honestly think that the show must have awakened all the fauna as well. For today we set a record at our house, we awoke to the sound of loons! Felt like we were on vacation up north, but no, it's just one of those sounds that soothes the soul! We have roughly 5-6 loons on the lake this year, a first since we've been here.
That wasn't the only treat, later we were able to glimpse one of the two bald eagles that is nesting in the tree line nearby. On our run this morning, Brienna and I saved a big turtle from being squished on the road and up about 15 feet we saved a baby turtle from the same demise. Caterpillars were everywhere! During lunch we watched a pheasant (rooster) trot through the back yard, Steve was itching to grab his gun! That's not all, later in the afternoon we caught THREE wild turkey's (hens) scampering past as well! It was all Daddy could do not to run and take a shot! We had our own little Mutual of Omaha happening in the Reese backyard today, it felt like a jungle as Brienna says!
