A Very Mild Winter--So Far.

Could it be that the groundhog was wrong? The extended forecasts only show warm to seasonal weather with rain, but no big snow storm or blizzard. Forecasts are, however,  inaccurate and just guesses more than a few days out.

While we’re waiting for the big storm, the snowdrops are open, and we saw new dandelion flowers on our dog walk this morning. It was sunny and warm.

At the feeders, we have the first grackle back from winter vacation. Usually they’re in a massive group and chase everybody else away from the feeders. 

Judy has been busy doing dog therapy visits to schools, from pre-school to college, and to various medical facilities. She alternates Maizie and Blanca, our two Goldens. Maizie, being 10, gets the shorter and easier outings. We are looking for another adult adoptee.

New blooms: snowdrops, dandelion.

Ready for the pollinators.

It's just another wild flower, not the devil's work.

Can you find three House Sparrows? The feeders are a little to the left.

A better look at one of the three.
