Getting Closer

 

            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 !
