If any of you have any, fire away. That groundhog said only 6 weeks and I'm still waiting (and getting antsy ;-) ).

The birds are singing (and their tune sounds happy).

Other than the fat robins flying around, not really. Too cold to open the door to hear if they're singing. There's a slight dusting on snow on the ground and things still look pretty dreary.

But it is good to know Spring is happening somewhere!

Ornamental pears, redbuds, Mexican plums, Italian Jasmine, Creeping Phlox, starting to bloom. Daffodils, Winter Honeysuckle, finishing up. Watching the Wisteria buds.

Saw Cedar Waxwings migrate through and clean up the cedar berries and whatever else they eat! (Pooped on my walk.) :blink:

I'm back at work ............ We're talking about summer vacation scheduling!

Dog laying out in the sun - soaking up the rays! New plantings or new growth covered up at night (we had frost this morn!) But will be a beautiful day in the 60s. :D

Have a great day Mermaid!

Spring? What is that? We are still getting snow here. Although it is supposed to get up into the 40's by the weekend. One can only hope.

Not much spring happening here! :( Snow today with white out conditions - wind chill in the 20's. Although things are looking up as I can see the crocuses peeking through the snow. Supposedly it will be in the 50's next week.

Thing is they pick the berries from my neighbors trees, then come and perch in our trees to eat and poop! :whack:

Actually it's OK 'cause Jackie can see them perfectly out her upstairs window, so it's worth it. Not like pigeons or blackbirds that tend to hang around some places forever - (I guess they think they're birds too!) :funn:

dd, so glad to hear on another thread that you're still plugging away at the no smokin'! So since you can't "sorta cuss" on here, I guess you are still safe with the drinkin' - except whatever you do, don't spill on the keyboard and ruin your computer or anything. Hate to have you out of commission! :biggrin:

Thanks, it's a daily struggle. I actually don't drink much these days either cause it makes me wanna smoke. I lead such a dull life now!! No smokin' (well almost), no drinkin' and no cussin'. It makes me wonder if life is worth living!! :lol: JK!!!

We went to Eden yesterday. The Azaleas were going strong, the Camellias were still hanging in there, and the Red Chestnuts were starting to bloom.
