Yes, the snow is coming down and the winds are howling, but I am undaunted. There ARE signs of spring!
-
There were new birds at the feeder off the deck this morning – a pair of carolina wrens.
-
Earlier this week, a nuthatch made a visit to the suet feeder.
-
Three robins were sighted on a nearby lawn. (wondering if they are regretting that journey to the East at this very moment???)
-
The bay leaf plant, at home in the master bedroom for the winter, has sprouted some new growth and buds.
-
The Meyer Lemon, in like manner, delights with new buds and an alluring fragrance from its pretty blossoms. Two baby lemons have begun to emerge. Great plant!
I do have to admit to a bit of jealousy, however, when I was looking at some blogs earlier today, and came across thepaperseed, which had also written about signs of spring – see what the emerging spring looks like in Portland, OR. Hopefully, we’re not too far behind!
Enjoy your weekend, thinking Spring….
