The trees are blooming...
The tulips are blooming...
It was the first time I saw the gray squirrel running about....he looks a little skinny so I will need to give him some peanuts....
The male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were singing their hearts out in our trees...
And Mrs. Robin finished building her nest and was laying on her eggs!
Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
To-day the glint of green is there;
Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!

it was cold here also, never got to as warm as they said it would. today its not doing anything good either and they said it would. we have had this blanket of cool temps and clouds just hovering over wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteyour pictures as usual are beautiful, your robin is doing exactly what mine is.
I know you're so happy to see signs of spring!
ReplyDeleteSorry some cold weather put a damper on your kayaking plans. It was warm here, so I can't complain. That Grosbeak is GORGEOUS...I've never seen one before.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures make me so happy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful signs of spring!
ReplyDeleteIt was chilly here too, but managed to ride the woods and found some more turtles sunning and saw 8 partridge...but they were so fast, I didn't get any photos of them..darn!
Wonderful pictures...so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think the squirrel was sucking it in...looking for sympathy. :)

You know, you really do have a very special gift with the camera. Your pictures speak volumes all by themselves. You are truly Blessed.
ReplyDeleteI want to know how your neighbors are? And when are we planning a sleep over so we can all stare at them through 25 pair of binoculars and make sure they see us! Can you imagine? LOL I think that would be great!
Ok, I'm bad. (I still think it'd be funny.)

Spring has sprung
ReplyDeletethe grass has riz
I wonders where
the birdies is?
In the past, we have had a mockingbird nest in our Crepe Myrtle tree in the front yard. Those little boogers are VERY territorial! The neighbor's cat was walking down the middle of the street and it was dive bombing her, swooping down with it little "talons". It was funny to see!
Last year it swooped down on me but then it must've realized that I am the one who fills the bird feeders!
Connie
That grosbeak bird has the prettiest markings on it. The squirrel is looking at you like where's lunch. lol.
ReplyDeleteI think your tulips are really pretty. That's a sure sign of spring.
We warmed up to 80 the last few days and I am loving sitting out in the patio.
Looks great... now if it would just warm up to match the pics (o:
ReplyDeleteHi Shelley, It's great to be back--and I'm enjoying catching up on your blogs. BUT---I'm sorry you haven't been able to see your loons yet. Darn!!!!! Maybe this weekend!!!
