Oh, that’s funny! :) Our goldies share our deck with the hummingbirds. It’s a regular circus. I can only imagine the goldie was not amused.

We’re starting to thaw out today. I think it actually made it to 50 degrees. I pruned the raspberries and my husband transplanted a tree our son brought home from school for arbor day last yeat. The dang thing lived after being abused in a styrofoam cup for a week. :)

44 for a high here (18 for a low). Lots of snowmelt pouring off the roof, but there's still more to go, and no sign of the lakes opening up anytime soon. The worst thing about these late snows is the moisture content -- it's like shoveling wet sand!

But I did see the first phoebe of the year. The poor guy was hovering like a big, clumsy hummingbird, trying to snatch suet from our feeder -- which he apparently doesn't have the right kind of claws to cling to -- since there are hardly any bugs yet. He finally knocked enough off that he could drop down to the deck to eat. Pretty resourceful, I thought.
