As soon as I carve some on it." :-)<br /><br />We started having 'spring' in January this year. Our temperatures have been consistently above 0C since then (though freezing at night), and we haven't had any appreciable precipitation in that time. The crocuses are blooming and the daffodils on the south side of the house will likely bloom this week. In short, it's our usual spring disaster waiting to happen. Everything will come out and then we'll have ten inches of soggy snow followed by -10C weather that destroys everything. (Or maybe not, says my inner optimist, but I've lived here 30 years so I tend not to listen to her much anymore.)Diane Hendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563115165301223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-12418547889439534912016-03-30T09:45:33.285-07:002016-03-30T09:45:33.285-07:00finally spring has arrived you pictured it beautif...finally spring has arrived you pictured it beautifully bailihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498012175058870980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-81340580921136245352016-03-30T08:53:43.260-07:002016-03-30T08:53:43.260-07:00Viking runestone:

I haven't seen a wolf in a while.<br /><br />Gia, Another month for us, then about a week or two before the bugs show up.<br /><br />Shammickite, Sounds like spring alright. We can hear coyotes, wolves, and sled dogs. It is fun to stand out on the deck and listen to who is calling who out there.

Birds everywhere - fat robins showed up last week, crows are holding public speaking competitions on the power lines, bluejays are boasting in the as-yet leafless trees. We had such a mild winter compared to last year, so there was very little snow to melt away and it feels like May already. Enjoyed your walk via your pictures! Does the coyote bother the horses?
