It is very early for Bluets; usually late February in Arkansas ! But, on 1/27 I first saw them in sunny areas in my side yard, then the storms, then cold, now they are back again, freshly opened. Also lots of Witch Hazel and Hepatica along the rivers and creeks, a few Johnny Jump Ups again here and there. Spring is coming.
Life and Wildlife along the Little Buffalo River 
Seeing the water flowing over the low- water bridge reminds of the many times I saw cars that went off the Onondaga or Scotia bridges. Growing up… I always thought that was hilarious! Guess I wouldn’t think it was to funny if it happened to me….
