Saw my first robin today. Just one, but yahoo!

I have had robins all winter ( NOT 'normal', even had a hummingbird 'buzz' me last week ) so, I am gonna have to look for 'different' signs....... ( maybe the new lambs due in March ) Right now it's 20, though we get 'cold' temps (overnight, been mid 30s to 50, daytime), it generally doesn't 'last' like it has for the last 2 wks ( if I wanted frozen ground, I'd live on the East side, dang it ! )

This year has felt cold! I am glad that the light comes back so quickly - it was still a little light at 445 this evening

I've been enjoying the chirping of the starlings - they congretate in the upper reaches of the cottonwood trees and absolutely fill the air with song. Wish they weren't such a nuisance...they are also tearing apart the insulation in the barn.

Hm not good! (it is one bird that I am not enamored of!) even though they're pretty

Starlings I don't here the birds much any more. What a great day, worked outside all afternoon.
Witch hazel and sarcococca smelled so good!!
Bit of a clean up so I can see the hellebores
Come on Sun!!!

How pretty Spring!! Love witchhazel!

it was over 60, feels like spring

I needed a jump on spring so went to the nursery today.

These are new called Ethan, only had them in gal. containers. I don't think so!!!

Very pretty Spring!! Thanks for photos!

Always spring in the greenhouses!!

Anyone going to the NW flower and garden show?

Spring are you going? I hadn't thought I would but if we get a group to meet down there I'd be up for that How fun!

When is it? I went last year for the first time in a long while, enjoyed all the display gardens.

That's what I would want to see!! Its Feb 20th -24th I can go on any of these days

Spring, thanks for the nursery photos, soooo many beautiful plants.

I wish I was better at bird identification. I had a whole flock of some sort of tiny drab bird swoop into my cherry tree, chatter for a bit, then swoop away before I could get a good look at an individual bird. Regardless, I'm taking it as a sign of spring, even though I had about an hour of snow flurries yesterday...

Not really a sign of spring, but we are getting flooded out here. This is an unclear photo of our back pond. The wooden bridge in the middle right is a footbridge over the creek inlet, usually sits 1-2 feet above the water. The lightish form behind the bridge is an almost full culvert, with water running over the road directly behind the culvert. This is about the wettest we've seen it.

BH how long have you lived in this place? It didn't seem like it was raining that hard, I guess I don't pay that close attention.
I hope all turns out well!
Great pond and all!
