After some cold months, T and I are back to our weekend walks in the woods. Last weekend, after a few days of unusual warmth, we headed to our favorite spot on the D&R Canal. We like this location all the time, but especially at twilight this time of the year when the Spring peepers can be heard. The canal is quiet at twilight and the reflection of the trees is lovely. The trees are not yet ready to leaf out, but when I look closely the signs of Spring are there.
On this Saturday evening, as we got ready to turn our clocks ahead, the most hopeful sign of Spring was the sound of the peepers. Last year, the state had an 8 pm curfew and we were eager to do our part so we didn’t hear the peepers very much. This year, feels more hopeful for a lot of reasons but especially because we could hear the peepers as we enjoyed the last of the sunlight.
