It was gray in the morning but then the wind came through, blowing away the clouds and bringing with it some frigid air. We celebrated Earth by having our pond cleaned out, making way for a new batch of little fish in another month or so. The pond cleaners found only one frog. We haven\u2019t heard any for weeks, and it\u2019s quite possible raccoons have been eating them, as well as the hawks and the blue heron that stops in every once in a while. I saw my froggy friend later, hanging out in the skimmer box while waiting for the pond to refill from the hose. We\u2019re hoping his friends join him\u2026and feast on the Brood X cicadas about to emerge.<\/p>\n<p>Went for a walk through the woods and noticed one of the trees was cut down (it was dead and right next to the trail). I\u2019m pretty sure it wasn\u2019t a beaver, unless they\u2019ve acquired tools. But I am concerned that my toothy friend, who had been working on a live tree a few months ago, hasn\u2019t made any progress in weeks. I\u2019m thinking about calling the town to see if they\u2019d trapped it.<\/p>\n<p>Zoomed with Mom this evening, showing her the flowering shrubs around my yard (the miracle of the iPhone). It snowed in New York where she lives now. She\u2019s in good spirits as long as we avoid the question, \u201cwhat did you do today?\u201d She\u2019s happy to listen to us talk about our lives. I\u2019m planning a trip there over Memorial Day weekend; six weeks before I see her again\u2014assuming they aren\u2019t on Covid lock down still.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21a-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2926\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21a-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21a-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21a-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21a-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21a-rotated.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21c-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2928\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21c-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21c-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21c-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21c-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-21c-rotated.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Earth Day!
