Although Spring has sprung officially by now, our last week here in Simsboro has been on the frisky side so far. I should have known that when I exchanged our (winter) flannel sheets for 'normal' (summer) ones last week, 'Murphy' would roar it's annoying head and proof me wrong!
Morning temps have been around 33F! Brrr .. Fortunately, it warms up during the (sunny) days but the hard wind is a cold one!
Any-hoo, nature apparently doesn't seem to care to much about all that, because more and more flowers appear ...
The bees are flying again and really love the Dewberry ....

| Bottoms up! |
The forest around the park is taking on a green hue ....
And after some careful searching, I found a few more wildflowers that have popped up:
Even a few more butterflies, like this Juvenal's Duskywing. Maybe not the most colorful of the lot but if you take a close-up look you'll see it's actually rather cute and fuzzy!
And than there's this little guy that's hanging out around our patio, isn't he pretty?
And yes, that's one and the same lizard there! It's a Green Anole and they change color (brown or green) in response to light, temperature or emotion.
That's why they're sometimes, mistakenly, called Chameleons.
Otherwise he's just his usual happy self, hanging out around the camper, sleeping in 'his' patio chair, and keeping a close eye on me when cooking up his favorite meal of all ... chicken!
And oh yeah ... cracking me up, as usual! Leave it to him to find a new and unlikely sleeping spot:
