Spring at the cabin

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"

Log Cabin Updates

I was so happy I got to spend a few days at the cabin last week. It was nice to take a break from studying! The weather was okay but got rainy toward the end of the week.

We went on some nice hikes and also got to meet my blogger friend Joan of The Retirement Chronicles. (Go visit her blog to view some fantastic photography. I told Joan she's lucky our log cabins aren't close by each other cuz I would be bugging her everyday!)

The snow has started to melt. Our lake is still frozen but melting on the edges.




Here's Joan and I! Isn't she a cute lady? I look like a big monster next to her. (Note to self - start jogging more and drink less pepsi!)




Here's my little chickadee making new friends with my bird feeder. I had them eating out of my hands all week but of course Greg was never able to capture the moment on camera. I really need the paparazzi to start following me!


I took lots of photos at the cabin while we were there so I will be posting these in the next day or so. I feel like spring is here! Time to get new spring pj's so I can wave to my neighbors and impress them! Ha!

Signs of Spring

It was a little cold this weekend at the cabin. It stayed in the 50's so I wasn't able to go kayaking to search for my loons. But even though it was cold, I did see signs of spring everywhere...


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!
