While January and February seemed to fly by, March seemed to go on forever.

Looking back on the month’s wrap I can’t believe that some of the clips were from the 31 days of March — it felt like they were taken months ago.

Although the weather is in its annual spring fickleness, the fam and I have been making sure to enjoy all of the warm days we get. Spontaneous afternoons spent hiking, laying in sunny fields, and listening to the spring peepers were a March staple (and are carrying into April).

The grass is turning more green every day, and buds are starting to pop on the trees and bushes.

So here’s a short photographic recap of the month:

I’m not sure that I’ve ever posted photos of this coat on my blog, but, FUN FACT: I made it out of my old bedspread last year

I bought the pattern from ReillyFitzsimmons, and it was easy and great, aside from the fact that I did have to downsize a lot because the pattern is unisex and created by a man

Grampa texted me when he found this little spotted salamander frozen under a piece of bark while he was splitting firewood; I saved him from his questionable fate and relocated him to a safe spot on my property

I hadn’t seen one of these guys since I was a kid, and this one looks like he might’ve used his tail as a method of self-defense at some point, because it was looking a bit stubby

The glory-of-the-snow flowers are now stealing the show from the snowdrops and crocuses, who are already past their peak blooming days 🌸

---

the feeling of getting to spend time outside (without being completely bundled up) after a cold winter is truly unmatched; if one person here suggests an afternoon hike, there are always multiple other individuals who jump on board with the plans

---

it’s currently the perfect time of year, where the nights are getting more mild, but there aren’t any bugs yet; just the spring peepers, turkeys, owls, and coyotes

and speaking of coyotes, I’ve finished painting my coyote skull and hung it up next to my doe skull (I also painted every other skull in my current collection — which I’ll post photos of soon)
