I thought I heard some the last week or so, ducks are showing up all over in the drainage ditches & other small bodies of water. Tree & brush branches are getting fat!  YAYS!!  J

I was looking out the kitchen window the other day, while talking to the wife, when the 2 geese who reside in the retention pond for the housing deveopment next door swooped in for a landing bringing last years hatchlings with them.  Minutes later a small flock of mallards settled into the creek that runs behind the house. 
Well, I says to meself, spring's here regardless of what the groundhog has to say.

Haven't seen any robins in my yard yet. When they arive I know spring is here, are not to far away.

Robins have been here for 3 weeks, Red Wing black birds for over a month.

Wow, you guys are killing me. It was 20 degrees below zero, here the last couple of nights. I am doing everything possible to think spring. I even ordered strawberry plants fron Gurney's today. That must mean spring is on the way.

We've been making maple syrup so it won't be long. 

Hmmm, maple syrup or honey on those pancakes? :) mmmmm good!

Well, all the snow melted here as of yesterday. I was so glad to see the last of it go and I saw some of my sedums coming up throught the soil and now today they tell us to expect at least 10 inches of snow and school is already canceled for tomorrow along with my bee club meeting.
Spring seems a long way off right now.
