BIRDS AND SIGNS OF SPRING

Today I heard one of my favorite sounds--the sounds of birds chirping and singing. We have lots of birdseed and corn out from when we had all the snow. They have been out in the garden either finding early bugs or seeds that have blown there. I saw a Blue Jay and a Robin Red Breast among many others. When all the black birds and crows show up it always reminds us of the movie, "The Birds."

Yesterday I was outside talking to Bob and we saw some plants getting starting to come up. We always worry that they will freeze since it's January but they must know what they are doing because we never lose them. I'll have to go out and look to see if there are signs of the daffodils yet. They always come up early.
