Spring is in the Air


We know many places right now are experiencing Winter. Where we live, we are experiencing "Winter" too, but not in the same way most people think of. We have some cold days, but nothing that includes snow and ice. We had two very unseasonably warm weeks in January that seemed to bring on an early Spring. From early blooming plants to birds laying eggs to wrestless kids in school, it was very odd for January. Don't get us wrong, we quite enjoyed the warmer temperatures. It's just a bit unusual is all. On our back patio, we've got a bird with two eggs in a nest in a hanging planter. We're keeping a close watch so we can be aware when the little birds hatch. This early spring makes us want to hang up the hummingbird feeder and get to our spring cleaning too(well, maybe not that).

  1. Last year in spring we got two doves on one of the plastic sheds under the patio, and they are back again this year, too!

    The female usually lays 2 eggs, and the chicks are SOOO cute!
