Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Early Spring?

I took February off to catch up on work here at home. I did start to get more organized again.

March is already starting to clamor about what needs to be accomplished.

This morning I walked out to the barn hearing the sound of BOGADEE being shouted from many different directions. That is what the re-winged blackbird song sounds like to me. When I was a child my dad used to tell me the Robins were the first sign of birds returning for spring. As an adult, I noticed, the red-winged black birds were usually the first back in town. This year they showed up at the feeders about mid February.

This morning they were singing from more than one direction. K saw robins over the weekend. We had a short mild snow storm Saturday. The snow had melted by Sunday afternoon so birds had a lot to sing about this morning. I never trust March weather but, it is beginning to look like the mild extended forecast is bringing March in like a lamb this year. I've seen more sunshine this week than for December through mid February combined.

Keep smiling.
