My thoughts released; a mind set free |
| Has spring finally arrived? The season has, even if the weather hasn't. Despite the recent, heavy, and deep snow, the frost seems to be out of the ground and it's melting from the bottom up as well as the top down. There are already numerous places in the yard where the ground is showing. I spent some time outside today and noticed the trees are budding and some of the little animals are out and about. In the strip of trees along side our property I saw a groundhog out and about (pretty brave with our two dogs) searching for food. I also noticed a lone robin perched in the big oak, watching me. I suppose it was hoping I was out to fill the feeders. I didn't disappoint it, I loaded up the feeders as well as scattering feed on the ground. I also, scattered some meal worms in the bare spots and watched as it flew down and feasted. I did a bit of straightening up in the garage, and when I came back out, I found the lone robin was no longer alone. A whole flock, twenty or more, had moved in to feast on the seeds and meal worms. I went in, got a cup of coffee and sat out while I watched the enjoy the feast when I noticed a couple more visitors looking for food, a pair of orioles hanging around where my wife hangs their feeder. I didn't have any oranges for them, but they seemed to enjoy the dried blueberries and a few strawberries I tossed their way. |
