Why Spring that is !!!
I am doing the happy dance now lol ! Spring arrives March 20th according to old farmers Almanac http://www.almanac.com/ which I have followed for many years !
Spring is pushing through here , the birds have been singing their hearts out and all have been frisky chasing each other around . The Robins who arrived a long time ago are now finally chirping and singing .
Flocks of Starlings are feasting on the grass patches every where . Feeders are being emptied faster then I can fill them . Eastern Blue birds are flying around making their unusual yet pretty sounds , Grackles and Redwing black birds are all noisy with their sounds of songs and chatter making it seem like we are in the marsh .
Tundra Swans are flying on their paths to migration and Canadian Geese are making their spring flight back to the rivers and fields , Turkey Vultures have returned soaring for leftovers , Papa said he saw Killdeer on his way home from work . The sun has risen so far every day and the days have been wonderful and bright and today it is to warm up to +4 . Each day more and more snow has melted from the sun and the land that has warmed up as well .
Miggs enjoying the last bit of snow before tonight and tomorrows rains wash the rest away !
This mornings sun rise over the valley!
The sun has changed it’s direction a bit each day as to where it rises and sets and now rises earlier in the mornings and sets later in the evenings which I love !
This morning as the sun rises in the east the moon was setting in the west .
For us here these are all signs of Spring getting closer and shutting out old man winter for good !
Until next time my friends !

Beautiful pictures they certainly capture the essence of Spring - Jane UK
It all makes us happy to see the signs of spring.
glad to see it reaching you!
Love your photos. Spring seems so far away for us in Northwest Wisconsin. We are under a winter storm watch.
Think Positive....I say to myself. :-)
Wonderful images. I'm just as excited as all those critters about the arrival of spring! After this long, hard winter...we're all happy that spring is here!
Wow, you have some great signs of spring there Elaine. We haven't seen one returning bird here at all but I guess they'd like some grass, even the brown kind, to land on and some warm temperatures to keep them warm. Not here yet. Great pictures!
I always love when you post about the signs of spring...it means it's coming my way.

PS The redwings haven't arrived...did you show them where I am on the map?
Today spring still feels a long, long way off!
Oh, Elaine that is great.. Your Spring is ahead of us but it will be here soon, too.. Remember your starling poem.. I still love it.. xo
