It is a very windy, overcast day. It is cold. Temperature is 39° but it feels like 26!! The 21 mile an hour wind is just doing its job, cooling things down and I am just doing mine, complaining. However, we are making progress. Our snow is gone. The plants and animals do need the moisture. A variety of birds have visited the new bird feeders, which provide an assortment of mealworms, suet, sunflower seeds and thistle seeds. The robins have been back for nearly a month. They came back early enough to be hampered and challenged not only by snow on the ground but by snowfall, twice! We still don't have leaves on the trees and we don't have daffodils but we DO have a flower, several honest-to-God flowers!
I know. The surrounding ground does not look inviting. It is not a golf green but we are still very happy to have bare ground instead of snow cover, green shoots including tulips and live, genuine, uneaten-by-rabbits flowers. We are thankful.
