First Robin


I saw robins in the back yard on Sunday, the first I have seen since last fall. As soon as some people see a robin, they get all excited that there will be no more snow, that warm temperatures will return, and that they should start raking the lawn. Wrong, we still have snow on the ground and it never made it above 32 degrees today. If you expect that we will have eight more weeks of winter, then if we get a spring warm-up sooner, it will be a pleasant surprise.

Deer Alert: Of course, as I write this, there are at least five deer in the back yards. Reminder to Self: Check the local nurseries for Liquid Fence and stock up now.
