Trees and shrubs are starting to sprout new leaves, and there is a plethora of robins getting ready to head further north. When I say plethora, I mean it. Robins by the hundreds everywhere. They usually stick around for a week or two. A few years ago, they were only here for 2 days.

Are you loving rubbing it in? It's been freezing here for 3 days! and isn't going to start warming up til tomorrow. I'm sick of it!! I miss the flowers, leaves, birds, & smell of freshly-mown grass.

It's "springy" here too. The trees aren't budding yet, but if we get a few more days of this they will be. I've seen it happen many times before that we get a false spring this time of year, and then we get a freeze a couple of weeks later that kills the buds. It can play Hell with the fruit crops.

No, not at all...I was hoping to give everyone a kernel of hope that it really is around the corner! I know it has been a bitter winter! Just wanted to lift some spirits!

Cheesy is trying to make me cry. I'm living on a freaking glacier and we had an avalanche in the side yard that's blocking part of the garage door. It's raining in my mud room from the ginormous ice dam. I don't see any sign of spring.

Hey, no fair. Shoo those robins this way please. I'm craving bird sounds. I don't want to make you jealous cheesy but I am watching the Packers return home. (on the news) It looks exciting. The kids got a day off school in Green Bay. Now please go outside and chase those robins north.

Once it gets around freezing....it doesn't matter after that if it's -1 or -30 its tooo darn COLD! If I hated it enough I'd move to a warmer climate.

I have two Bald Eagles chasing each other over my house and over the pond in our backyard hollering out to one another. I see baby eaglets in our future. Did I happen to mention it's a sunny 72 degrees right now?

What is this "spring" of which you speak? We have a trouble making ground hog up here who put the kibosh on us seeing any kind of early spring. Stupid rodent. DOH!
