The Birds are Back

I saw a beautiful oriole at the hummingbird feeder on May lst.  I had just filled it and was so glad I did.  I got the finch feeders filled and ready too.  Today the first Goldfinch is out there eating.  Both birds are so beautiful.  I just love to watch them.  The hummingbirds should be coming soon too, usually around Mother's Day they always say.  The 10 inches of snow is all melted away now.  That was a shock to have all that snow two days in May.

It's Finally Spring

I think it is finally Spring. We are having near 50 degree days and the snow is nearly gone. There are finally birds chirping everywhere. The first really warm day, I need to take down all the bird feeders, clean them up and refill them with fresh seed. So far we haven't seen the Goldfinch or Red Finches yet so it must be too cold and early for them. The Hummingbirds come around Mothers Day and the Orioles.

Birds and Spring

The birds are finally returning and it is so nice to hear them singing again. There are dozens of Robins hopping all over. The big Lab dog next door loves having all the snow gone out of his yard. The kids had him out running around the yard outside the fence and he minds very well and doesn't go anywhere unless they tell him it is ok. He came running right up to us when we got home as we always pet him all we can. He's such a lovable dog. We used to have two like him on the farm.

Warmer At Last

Well I think winter has finally got it out of it's system and it is on the way to Spring. The snow is going fast. Makes ice overnight but melts quickly the next day. things are starting to dry out. Looks like out lilac bush is dead. will have to check it out and see. Birds are slowly starting to return.

Sunny and Warmer

Well at last, it is sunny and warmer and the snow is melting. Can this be signs of Spring at last? I sure hope so. The snow blower is put away and checking out the lawn mower. Grass looks green after the snow melted. I want to get the bird feeders filled and ready. Had alot of Goldfinch last year and hope we have more this year.
