Spring comes to Hawkeye

Fuzzy little fiddleheads, so cute.  This was my morning walk at 6 a.m., into the bog with the dogs.  Tamaracks are coming out and there are small leaves on alders, bigger leaves on poplars.  It's greening up a lot, very quickly.

Yesterday the dogs ate a 5 pound bag of sugar they found in the pantry.  They opened it, ate a bunch of it, spread some of it around, drank a lot of water, threw up, and repeated the process.  Oh they're little darlings all right.  Now Tess has a sugar-coated head and Treasure has a sugary sweet tail.
