Should be taking pictures of buds or blossoms in the trees by now but no…we have snow. Yes, it’s picturesque, but no, it’s not nice or proper or desirable.

Noticing the various birds that don’t usually feed together are having no trouble this so-called spring feeding near each other. The song birds are starving. I watched a couple of squirrels – a black one and a red one that don’t, as a general rule, associate together, dashing down to pick up food that I’d broadcast for them – and even that while the little stray cat that I feed was quite nearby. Nobody cares right now. They simply need food. This is one horrid, miserable Spring. Hopefully this will be the last of our snow. Fingers crossed.
