Daffodils almost here.

Warm most of the day, with the threat of storms. No actual storms, however, except for some rain when I rode my bike to get a haircut.

So, let’s talk of vernal pools, of which there are quite a few, including the ones on Serendipity Lane. Vernal means spring, and that’s when they exist. And, although they don’t stay wet the whole year, they do fill a very important role in the natural world.

Check out this brief video of vernal pools in Michigan: Ephemeral BTW, did I mention that the spring peepers are now out in force in the vernal pools around Whitewater?
