Spring - 28 days!

woo-hoo

oh - last night my girlfriend told me she saw a robin in her backyard.

I heard woodpeckers.

I heard mourning doves yesterday for the first time in a while...

Yea!!!We're getting rain here today instead of snow!!

Buds swelling on the trees and ( the squeamish will want to skip this...

A big uptick in road kill...gross but true. Non possum RK is up and that means they are awake and on the move cause spring is on the way! WHOOT! ( well whoot that spring is cumming.. not so whoot on the bunnies raccoon and skunks that delivered the sign

Found new growth on last year's clearance garden mums. O_o I thought they were dead. Glad I was too lazy to pull them!

Get out! We had 6" of snow last night.

Get out again!! NW Iowa has 9 degrees and snow flurries. My 300+ jugs are still covered with snow....PLEASE REMIND ME AGAIN WHY WE LOVE ZONE 4!!!!

At the rate of winter we've had so far, I'll be too old to do the happy dance (or forget where I put the jugs...or even why I put the jugs outside (((snicker))).

We've got lots of birds here. This is the first year I did not see many all winter. They must have known it would be a very cold and psycho weather winter here. Now they are coming back. It is making my cats smile. The pussy willow is full of big fat buds today.
