Guess what I just heard.....

Being a huge birdwatcher, I've gotten pretty good at bird calls.  Guess what I just heard, A ROBIN!!!  YAY... Spring is on its way!!!!  Thank GOD!!!!!  There IS hope!!! 

Warm hugs!!!!

Oh I know Patti the other morning I had the door open waiting for Miss Krissy to go potty and the birds were singing, music to my ears.

 

It got up to 58 yesterday so I took her for a walk, not a long one cause I wasn't feeling that great but the poor baby got out for a little while. Today 60 but we are suppose to have rain all day.

 

Ten more days til we turn the clocks up, HORRAY!!!

 

Chris, I can't remember if I have welcomed you, so welcome to the family.

 

luv and hugs

I can hear the the birds here, too! So exciting...c'mon spring!

Patti- I saw a large group of robins yesterday....I was very surprised and excited!!

I also had another AMAZING bird experience on tuesday...we have a few feeder, and the food was getting low, so I went out to fill them..the chickadees always seem to just hang out in the tree while I fill up the feeders...and I have tried this before..but nothing has ever happened...but I tried again...i put a bunch of seed in my hand and just stood there...and with in 5 min. I had a few chickadees land on my hand and take food!!!! amazing!! I was so excited about this!!! Maybe I'll try again today! I'm looking out the window now...and I see the usual bunch out there...plus a nuthatch

I'm with you julieleaps. Where in the UP do you live? I live in south central area so am expecting lots of snow also and high winds. I read in the local paper that people have seen robins here but not me yet. I am soooo looking forward to spring which will show up sometime in May! Oh we have a long time to go yet. at least the robins should be here before that. I think I'll go hide under the covers until then. Lisa

Spring? We had a relapse here - east of Seattle. Snow overnight. Cold too (for here). It'll take a little extra fleece for my morning walk.

I hope to see a Robin soon. I am so sick of winter. Maybe my joints won't hurt as much.

Here in the NW corner of Montana it is snowing today.  We are  having a "storm watch" until about 5:00 this evening.  i am encouraged that you all are seeing Robins, that means Spring is on the way.  Yahoo!!!!!  hugs, Denise

No robins in mid Michigan yet but the birds that are here are scouting out the bird houses. I started my begonia corms and they have started little buds! All I need is that tiny little green growth to get my hopes up. Spring will come... eventually! And here in Michigan it will last approximately 28 minutes and it will be 87º and we'll be complaining about the heat!

Hey Everybuddy

Thanks for your hopeful replies!!!  Spring is on its way.. but I'm sure here in NE Indiana we'll have a little more snow.. but at least it won't last for 2 or 3 months anymore.

Getting By- Karen.. You are 100% right about the redwing blackbirds, when they appear Spring is right behind them.. we usually can count on only one minor snowfall after that.  Another positive clue that we won't have anymore snow is the disappearence of Junkos!!

So, in a nut(hatch)shell.. I think we're coming close to the end of that horrible W word.. Winter.. Thank GOD!!!

Hug to all...

it is snowing here in northern utah today after a day filled with sunshine. so i had reread the spring inputs. it is so cold outside this morning but not giving up the hope for some sunshine to back through

Woooo - Hoooo!!  I just saw a flock of Redwing Blackbirds!!!  I was traveling about 20 minutes south of my home and there they were!!  There ya go.. Karen!!!  They're on the way!!!

BTW, I meant to mention earlier, ((fog alert)), Kelly!!  How cool is THAT, having the Chickadees eating right out of your hand.  I always wanted to try that!!  I don't get Chickadees (one of my favs) here for some reason.  We don't have a lot of trees in our neighborhood, so I guess that's the problem.  But good for you!! I'm jealous!!!

Warm *think Spring* hugs,
