It's a Kid Thing

A sunny, warm day means time to climb a tree. Look at that kiddo who made it all the way to the top of this one in Camel's Back Park.

Weird is Good

Spring is driver's education season in Idaho. A driver's permit can be issued at age 15.

Something is Coming

Any guesses?

The Wasps are Waking Up

This one was discovered in a pile of leaves in a garden bed. Only females ready to lay eggs live through the winter. All the males die. This means wasp (also called a yellow jacket around here) season will be buzzing in about a month.

I'm betting this tub will be full of flowers later this spring.

Puddles

It's a squishy, muddy world in Boise this week.
