Finally...

...the little chipmunks have poked their noses out of their burrows. I realize they are really just little rodents and can be very destructive, but I think they are enjoying this unexpected early spring as much as I am. And they are cute! Last night we had some heavy rain and a few rumbles of thunder, but today dawned with sunny blue skies. It was a great morning for my walk in the park. If you are interested, you can see a few more pictures of the chipmunk (and an Eastern towhee) on my blog.
