Signs of spring

April 17, 2008

The snow is receding and temperatures are in the 40s and 50s.
The weather forecast calls for more snow this weekend.
Kiki the cat is tired of snow.

But...there are signs of spring:

Grass is getting greener.

Daffodils are coming up.

Willows are starting to bloom.

Bird sightings:

We have Chickadees in one of the nest boxes. The Bluebirds seem to have left. (We may have put too many boxes up). We've also seen Crossbills, Juncos, Robins, Sparrows, Finches, Tree Swallows, Goldfinches and a Rufous-sided Towhee.
