I'm afraid there hasn't been much to write about. Things are pretty slow here in the hills. I have been doing quite a bit of housekeeping, hiking, and a lot of sitting around waiting for spring. It was quite warm Saturday and my husband and I took the opportunity to look for sheds out on our prairie property. There were several geese on the river. Everything was melted off and we enjoyed sitting on the river bank watching the fish. Next time we will bring poles.
The goldfinches have been a mainstay at my feeders. I would enjoy their company more if I didn't know that as soon as they turn golden they will disappear.
The sunrises and sunsets have been incredible. Very vivid and crisp. We still have lots of snow here in the hills. Ella and I go for a hike every weekend. The snow is finally hard enough that I don't need snowshoes. March is around the corner. Perhaps spring is in the air.
Signs of spring everywhere! We have no snow and it's been really warm here. Almost too warm for February. We'll hope for some good spring rains. Have you started any seeds yet?
ReplyDeleteIt is trying to change here, warm over the weekend turned cold. The wind was vicious but is drying deep mud.Getting some new babies around the farm.Have had 3 Baby Doll sheep come into this world.
ReplyDeleteWe're alternating between spring and winter weather. It's quite bizarre! 56° one day, snowing and 25° the next. I haven't been on snowshoes this winter because we haven't had a enough snow. I caught myself listening for woodcock over the weekend. They won't be back for at least another month but it felt like early April.
ReplyDeleteThough I typically like the longer evenings of winter, I am about ready for spring, fresh air, and color.
ReplyDeleteWe definitely have Spring here--trees are blooming, daffodils are up and buds on my perennials. Birds are going crazy and the cats can't seem to get enough bird-watching! XOXO
ReplyDeleteYes spring is coming and now you my friend will come out of hibernation:) It has been a very fickle season for us and you too it looks and sounds like. HUG B
ReplyDeleteSpring is definitely in the air and ground here. By sheds I take it you don't mean buildings but antlers? Is that right?
ReplyDeleteWe too are starting to see signs of Spring and even though the winter here does not require snow shoes, I will be very glad to get over that hump and into Spring.
ReplyDeleteNo signs of spring yet in my part of Ontario. I did not know that about goldfinches. When we see them, they are just bright yellow males and pale yellow females. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThe wildlife in your area are so photogenic! And wow, what a beautiful sky that is! Happy almost spring!!
