Welcome to Spring!

Hello, and welcome to My Nature Notes.  There is nothing I love more than all the little wonders that surround us everyday.  To me, there is beauty everywhere in nature, even in places we wouldn't normally expect to find it.  Plants, animal, rocks, and all their parts are fascinating and worth learning about.

Since spring is now upon us, and I've been meaning to write more, this feels like the perfect time to begin this blog.  The South Saskatchewan is nearly free of ice and full of erratically swimming Corixids, and I have the fortune to live near enough some fields that the no-longer-hibernating ground squirrels frequent my back yard.  The grass is greening, the perennials are starting to show, and I can't wait to get out and search some native prairie for the crocus blossoms that can often be found this time of year in Saskatchewan.
