Some Of This & That

WOW ! it is now the last day of February that went fast , which I am glad of as March is the month that starts a whole new season of wonderful things . For instance  the time change for us we jump one hour ahead as of March 11th and get even more day light from then on , it is the month of Springs return and things start to grow in the gardens , trees, bushes and shrubs  bud .

So far all of this is already happening for us early here as our Spring birds have already returned , well most of them just waiting for the Song sparrow and the temps have been warm up to 13C or 55F this morning at 9 am the temps were already at 10C or 50F    the suns warmth has been getting stronger and stronger  and the days so far have been sunny and quite pleasant .

 The morning sunrises over the valley from my kitchen window have been so welcoming and pretty  and the sun has slowly shifted its location farther along the east each week  and sets farther along the west now  to  .

                        The sky's have been so clear and blue with the odd puffy cloud in them . 

 My favorite bird of them all  the Robin we have tons around this year again and it is so wonderful to see and hear them serenade us again with their beautiful song chatter and funny giggling sound  absolute music to my ears as it echos through out our yard and valley .

 Miggs is doing wonderfully . She had her second check up at the vet yesterday and the vet was very pleased with her progress and how strong her leg as gotten and how well she walks on it now and can sit properly all though she has always been what we call a sloppy sitter lol  like the photo below    . We are able to go a bit farther on our walks each day , she can climb the stairs better now at bed time with just a helping hand to steady her ,  she still needs to be on leash in the yard but not for long probably only till the end of March then she can be off leash in the yard and get back to being Miggs again  .

                          The  lilacs are all full of buds already as are all of our trees .

 Over the past week or so we have also have had lots of moister and that's when these fascinating bits of nature come out .

            Fungi one of my favorite and weird parts of nature I love to see and photograph .

                    Each and every one has a different texture, shape, colour and  markings to them .

                                                            Moss , I like moss to !

 The birds have been feasting,  chasing , squawking,  fighting around and at the feeders but it is nice to see them all gather there !

 Our Red wing black birds are also enjoying the seed and yes the bully Grackles to but they all sort each other out in the pecking order and then all end up sharing in the long run . I still haven't seen any of our chipmunks about I hope they all made it through the winter  they probably have just to comfy and cozy in their hiddy holes lol !

 I say goodbye to February and hello and welcome to March now . March can be a tricky month weather wise for us but for the most part it is the month that starts one of my favorite seasons ,
                                                           
                                                        SPRING ! 😍
