Howdy. It is official. Saw our first chipmunk of the year yesterday at my place. Others in town have seen them for a week or more.
Spring is here for us. Snow in town.....gone has been for a few weeks. All bird types are in. We even have a couple geese down at the pond this year.
We are at least 6 to 8 weeks ahead of schedule for weather.
Sprappy hing!!!
We had good weather on Saturday, which I spent at the office. Cooler on Sunday, then rain yesterday. Hopefully it will start looking up again.
I guess we’re going to get good flowers in May.
Congratulations on the chipmunk! Tom is mowing the lawn here. It has grown very deep.
April is disappointing us. We’re headed for rain and temperatures in the 30°s, 40°s, and low 50°s for the next
week. I suppose we’ll survive...
Chemo session tomorrow, just the one, not-nasty drug.
Speaking of grinnies (Ohio’s name for chipmunks):
Last Spring, the robins made their nests on the outside light fixtures on the deck and in the front of the house.
The chipmunks scampered up the brick walls, pushed all the hatchlings out of the nests, ran down, and ate them.
I have been ill disposed to the damnable things since then. We still have plenty of robins, but they are being very
careful with their babies this year, and I hope from now on.
