I can hear them...


The robins are back!

It is a beautiful day; sunny, no breeze, bare ground; it sure looks like spring. The temperature is hovering around 11 degrees but feels much warmer. But, just as last year and the year before, they--the winged harbingers of spring--have returned for the end of winter. Then again, I wasn't paying close attention before 2015.

Winter's wheels are definitely grinding to a slow and perhaps the robins know better than I do when it will truly end. I certainly wouldn't doubt it. It's very good to hear them call out from their old haunts.
