Thursday

Thursday Is The First Day Of Spring I Don't Think It Is Going To Feel Like It But Just The Thought Of It Brings A Smile To My Face.

It is in the 60 and 70 degrees range here...Everything is turning pretty and green..The trees are starting to bloom...And it is beautiful..I love it...

47 degrees here, and got 2" of rain!

Yea, It's little warm up here in Wisconsin- Today it's 41 degree here.

52 degrees here and second day of rain, still to nasty for this old fella to venture out.

Yep, most of the snow is gone around here, except for up in the mountains. It's warming up and like Tessie said things are greening up. It's sure been long overdue. Already, last night, the wife started in telling me what all her grandiose plans for the yard are this Spring and Summer. Of course in all actuality, she was really describing what I'll be doing.

You know I'm sitting here thinking about it and it just occured to me, one of the best parts of Spring time that I miss. When I lived in Portland, we had a fairly large maple tree in our front yard and every Spring the Robins would build nests in it. Early in the morning just as it was getting light out, they would start chirping, making that kind of up and down call that they make. I really enjoyed listening to that. We have Robins here, but we don't have any trees in the yard for them so they don't come around like that, except to dig worms out of the lawn later in the day. I sure miss hearing thos Robins in the early morning.

I know a lot of you folks must have them around where some of you live. Do any of you know the chirping noises that they make that I'm talking about?

Dang Rock, I'm going to be in Fulton, Mo over the weekend. Was hoping for better weather than that.
