At the WV/VA state line, the blackbirds had already returned last month and are still congregating near a truck stop on I-81.

Hubby thought I’d gone insane because I got extremely excited when I saw them.

They *never* come back to the area unless ‘spring’ is close at hand.

I was at the state line a couple days ago and most of them are still there, waiting.

I assume parts of the flock have gone further upstate by now.

So I am hopeful of an early spring, in spite of the fact that as of this moment, when I step outside, I pretty much instantly freeze in place.

[it’s viciously cold and windy]

I must be the only person in the world that likes winter LOL

I like hiking in winter. Its quiet and beautiful.
Winter puts the lid on riff raff LOL
When its 20 degrees out you dont find punks hanging out on the street corner.
When its 20 below anyone you find outside is YOUR FRIEND!! LOL

Spring is overrated LOL
Tornadoes and **** pouring rain punctuated with some warm muddy days LOL

Autumn is the very best time of year
