Spring has finally come to Fargo, so we're catching up to everyone else on things turning green, budding, and blooming. I'm very happy to see that all of our plants survived their first winter in our yard and survived the annoying and damaging voles that lived under the snow all winter. It's great to see those little leaves growing out to soak up the sun.
The weather is finally nice enough out that we can make an occasional trip out to the dog park with Maggie. As we were walking around the lake, Nila spotted this Blue Heron sitting out in the water. We tried sending Maggie out after it to scare it into flight but she was more interested in smelling a nearby tree so Nila had to go running out waving her arms. If I had been thinking, I would have taken pictures/video of that instead of getting this shot. Maybe next time…
