What A Wacky Spring It Has Been

 

WOW ! This spring has been unreal weather wise . This past weekend was a weekend full of wild wacky stormy weather  as most of you have had it to . The weekend sky's were full of snow , rain  , freezing rain and then for us rain again and lots of it  and very high winds . We lost power for a few hours whilst others lost power for the entire weekend , trees down every where , floods all over like in our basement again but not to bad though thankfully , just way to much water all at once in many different forms , it was cold then mild then cold then mild again and then finally it all settled down as of yesterday for us here whilst the storms traveled north east of us and then hit the east coast .

Today the weather isn't  to bad all though still not the spring I would like , it is chilly and snowing lightly , most of it is melting as it hits the ground as the ground is mostly thawed out now  but we do have a tiny dusting in some spots .

The birds have been busy and I expect wondering where the heck spring is and maybe even second guessing why they came back so soon lol !

I took these photos from my kitchen sliding doors . As the snow was gently falling the Robins were able to peck about for meaty morsels still  despite the temps and the light snow fall the ground has thawed enough so they have been plucking the odd worm out .

I can imaging there is slim pickings of worms for them as the worms would want to stay deeper in the ground to stay warm for now . My poor spring flowers are trying their best to keep on growing but seem to be stunted this season as like us they don't know if or when spring will actually arrive properly .

Well this wacky spring weather doesn't seem to phase the tons of Grackles we have about at all from building their nests as this one here has a beak full of grasses , whilst other Grackles are  bullying the other birds about the back yard .

Miggs and I have been going crazy being cooped up all weekend cause of the storms and we really miss our walks  .  But earier today we were able to get out and go for a small walk whilst it was lightly snowing !

                                                  Miggs impression of  the yucky weekend weather we had lol !

Talking about Miggs , She is doing wonderfully and is back to her old self and walking and even running a bit more now  as  her leg has strengthened  to full capacity  and she can sit properly again on her hinds and she can now be off leash in the yard , we just have to keep an eye on her and retrain her not to chase critters , now that's a chore in itself  for us as she has that part of the terrier  instinct to chase  but we are working on it  lol ! .  Like me she can get a little sore and gimpy when the weather is damp and chilly but other then that she is back to the old Miggs again .  WOOHOO !

        I just looked at the weather for this coming  weekend and next week , if they are right, our spring weather will be starting as it should be by the weekend  with lots of  sun shine and the temps will be hitting 15C or 60F in the day and night time temps will be warmer as well , so here's hoping our true spring weather  is here and here to stay  as of the upcoming weekend and week ahead ! fingers crossed !

                                                                                   

                                                                                              Until next time
