Spring has arrived early!

One major storm March 1, after a lull between storms of about two months! winter went by in a blink, literally. I feel as if I have awakened from a long sleep to discover spring (today actually felt more summer like) suddenly arrived.
Two mallard duck couples are feeding in the beaver pond. The beaver is back making his rounds, checking his dam, making sure he is the only beaver in the pond etc...

Living things are swimming amongst the last melting bits of ice. I think the frogs will be singing a couple of weeks early this year. The daffodils are starting to come up, too.
