Sunshine

We have bright sunshine today. But don't let that fool you. We also have strong winds. We had light snow off and on all day yesterday. At least it melts faster now that it is closer to Spring. I push snow off the deck, it seems, every other morning. I saw a Robin the other day and really felt sorry for it. I am sure the ground is so frozen it can't get to a worm to eat. The winds have to be hard on making nests too. I wonder how many have blown out of the trees every year in the strong winds we have. But they seems to be sturdy and raise a family every year. Love to see them hopping around the yard. We know it is Spring when we see the Robins return.

Fall is in The Air

You can feel Fall is in the air.  It gets quite chilly at night and in the morning the house if cold enough to kick on the furnace a couple times.  It was foggy earlier, they said, but now it is full sun.  They are busy working next door on the new house so I hear lots of vehicles driving in early to get started for the day. It is only 57 now but will get up to 70 probably before the day is over. I love this kind of weather.

Sunshine and Warm Winter

The sun is shining brightly again this morning. The temperatures are climbing right along and it is going to be another beautiful snow free day. In fact, all week is going to be snow free. Well, I guess they said we might see a few flakes on Wednesday but so far even those have passed us by. It is almost freaky because we are usually buried in snow and cold. The golfers have even been out golfing this winter, something that is unheard of here in this area. We love it!!!

It's a Great Day!

It's a beautiful day today. The sun is shining and the rain has stopped for 2 days now. My hanging pots of flowers are all getting ready to bloom now. The lawn has really grown and my husband is out mowing it early before it gets way to hot. We got a new hummingbird feeder and someone told us in the store that they had bought one and the orioles come and drink out of it. Well, they were right. We saw the most beautiful oriole yesterday morning and night coming to drink and he stays for a long time. I called the next door neighbor so she could look out the window and see it as we have never had one this close up before. A pair of hummingbirds fed all day too the last couple of days so we are sure happy we bought this particular one because it has little perches inbetween the flowers where the birds drink and they can sit and drink or sit and rest. It is fun to see a hummingbird sitting because you would never guess that they ever stop.
