It is a capital plan for the children to keep a calendar––the first oak-leaf, the first tadpole, the first cowslip, the first catkin, the first ripe blackberries, where seen, and when. The next year they will know when and where to look out for their favourites, and will, every year, be in a condition to add new observations.

First Frogs
Of course, sometimes I think it's a first just because we were in the right place and looking. We went on a nature walk for David's 4-H project, and found several swimming in a large puddle on the trail. We didn't see any tadpoles / eggs, sadly. (I'd love to raise some tadpoles.)

The Eagle Returns
I took a walk today with the dogs after the kids were settled in. We walked all around the pond and saw the eagle several times. I kept thinking of Tennyson's poem, which I would post other than I am on my tablet. But it made my heart glad to see the eagle. I've missed him.
