Another Sign of Spring - Robin!

No, not this Robin!

THIS robin! There are hundreds of them in town now, and they were singing so sweetly the last several days with our warmer, sunny spring days. Now, however, they are all chirping, "What the #@&%@&#^!" We are in the middle of a late season winter snow. The radar looks horrible, about a 30 mile wide band of snow expected to cross right over our little chunk of paradise all day today. The good thing about late season snows is that we know they can't be around for long! So hang in there little robin, tomorrow is another day! They call these late snows the 'sugar snow', it helps the sap run. It is also fun to pour warm maple syrup over the snow in a shallow dish and eat it, sort of like a maple slushy!

Remember that song from elementary school?
The north wind doth blow and we shall have snow, and what will poor robin do then? Pooooor thing
He sit in the barn to keep himself warm and hide his head under his wing. Poooooor thing.

Oh, the bizarre flotsam in my mind never ceases to amaze me.

Please send some our way. I guess I wouldn't mind seeing the other Robin running around in our back yard either.
