Early this morning I notice that there were a dozen turkeys walking around in our front yard. I took the chance to take some pictures out of our front door.
One old tom kept puffing himself up in the driveway.
He is really quite a pretty old tom, but he seems to be missing a few tail feathers.
A group of tops showing off near the garden fence.
I did get into the garden to clean off some of the last year's trash from the asparagus bed and took the straw off of the strawberry bed. Here there were some leaf buds from one of the rhubarb plants poking out of the soil.
This is the other rhubarb plant coming up with green leaves showing.
I did also take the chance to check my hives. With temperatures in the mid 50s there was lots of activity around all three hives. It's probably getting close to when I can take off the winter wrapping and mouse guards and take down the windbreak. This is the north hive that just uses its bottom entrance for some reason.
Here's the middle hive with bees flying and going in and out of the top entrance.
The north hive has bees using both entrances but they seem to prefer the top entrance. The brood is probably in the top box at this time of year and the top entrance is closer to the action.
The crocuses have been blooming this week. These are the large crocuses I have planted hear the old dog kennel.
Daffodils are nearly ready to bloom under the protection of bushes in front of the house.
