Hard to believe that after so many days of sub-zero temps, most ice banks are melted and the temp shot up to 65 degrees! Whoo Hoo! I wore short sleeves for the first time in .... who knows how long?? Smiles Had never noticed how loudly birds can chatter until daily feeding them this winter.

I thought they were signaling others that the feeders had been refilled but on my neighborhood walk yesterday, I was surprised to hear many throughout the walk chirping away. Was it the sudden heat spell they were celebrating like me or were they putting out the word to follow this woman home; she hosts a daily smorgasbord???
