Have you started any yardwork yet this year?
It's an interesting time of year where I see people outside already trimming their yard to perfection while others seeming to be delaying getting out there as long as possible.

I've not touched my yard beyond sweeping it, but I have planted a couple of fruit bushes and other plants in my modest back garden.
The lawn, such as it is, needs mowing but it's presently too wet. If it gets much longer I may need use the electric mower for the first cut, but I am reluctant as I am more likely than with the manual mower accidentally to kill any frog hiding in the grass. (Frogs spend much of their time out of the water, hiding in cool, slightly damp vegetation, under logs and the like.)
The pond vegetation is becoming rather rampant and I have already thinned it a bit. The frog-spawn in it has hatched but I can't see many tadpoles. They might be staying deeper.
