WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WEEK MAKES!



Last Tuesday we had a SNOW DAY


and today it looks like SPRING!


This is what happens when the Mayor plows snow.  That's gravel from shoulder of my street.  The distance from the edge of the street to the other side of the sidewalk is 20 feet.  He had plowed a huge 4 foot high pile of snow across our sidewalk and left it there for us to shovel.  
Gee, how nice of him.  
Maybe he did it just to prove village employees don't get plowed out in a snowstorm.


BIRD WATCHING THROUGH DIRTY WINDOWS

 I know Cardinals like to eat corn...



but I didn't know they eat snow too!  
I watched this Cardinal actually eat snow 
right off the tree branch.





I love how the Cardinals just seem to stop 
and pose for the camera!




 I've been hearing them but not seeing them...


On Sunday, I finally spotted my first 
Robin of the season!
They don't stay still long enough to get a good picture, lol.


I SPY

something high up in the sky!
I've no idea what kind of huge bird this is.



 While bird watching, I happened to see some green pushing up through the dirt...
 

the Resurrection Lilies are coming up!


TAKE TIME TO ENJOY THE SEASON CHANGE 

(Stop back later in the week for a stitchy update)

  2. All our snow disappeared Sunday and Monday with the warm temps and rain. Well except for the parking lots where the piles are high! Nice bird pics. That looks like it the mystery bird might be a hawk??

  3. Wonderful photos. Here in Yorkshire it just can't make it's mind up whether we're in winter or spring,even the kids are fed up of waking up to snow after a few days of lovely sun!
