It’s chilly in the morning as I turn over the garden beds with a spade, clearing out weeds and last year’s stubble. I also rousted a green anole, sleepy but alive, and dug up a DeKay’s brown snake that died underground during the winter. The spade turns up insects and earthworms with every turn.
Another freeze is expected, but it warms up during the day. Red-tail hawks have been soaring when the earth warms up enough to generate thermal currents. Last week, I’d hear them around 11 a.m. This week, they’re usually aloft just after 10. The earth is getting warmer.
