Here, it's winter at night, spring during the day. The grass has taken off, and is thick and green (for now, wait until July and August). I relieved my frustrations yesterday by mowing it for the second time this year.
I'm a good deal farther south than you may be - not much snow in these parts and we skated on the deep freeze a couple of weeks ago. It got cold, but not nearly as cold as areas west of us.
Anyway, Spring is a time of renewal. Spotted a Cardinal today. A poor Tufted Titmouse flew into the back door glass and was stunned for a few minutes, but took off again. Signs of Spring indeed.
You can put something on glass windows to prevent birds from slamming into them. Anything - picture, sticker, something - then they see something that breaks up the reflection. We’ve had birds kill themselves that way and we felt so awful. We hang things in the window that seem to be the reflective ones that trick them.
Here in Northern PA, I see the signs of spring, too.
No robins yet, but the Canadian snowbirds have disappeared. The redwinged blackbirds are back, and they are voracious, attacking all my feeders.
My fluffy cat is starting to shed his winter coat.
The daffodil tips are up three inches.
And Daylight Savings Time returns next Sunday!
