A few days ago, we saw a fat robin, sitting in a tree in our backyard. Then, a day later, Will heard the pair of Canada goose scouts flying up the creek. They always come a week or more before the big flocks appear on our creek and ponds. Today, we again heard them flying and calling, although the ice is still on the ponds. There is a little melted snow water on top of the ice though. Those happy goose calls sure make us happy, knowing that true spring is not far away, even though we’re having some snow\/rain for a few days. We can look forward to warmer, sunny days, when all the migratory birds show up. Like today when we saw a kestrel sitting on a power line; the first little hawk of this spring. Hooray!<\/p>\n

Our mile long driveway is a big mud puddle for most of its length. It’s not so we’re going to get stuck in it. But it IS really yucky so we don’t drive in and out a lot, while it is drying up some. Instead, we’re sticking close to home. And enjoying things around us. Like the two wild tom turkeys (sons of our old mother wild turkey who came back every year for seven years). They’re strutting and preening, showing off to each other and us. We first saw them return, after being gone all winter, about three weeks ago and wonder if their mother is still living. She may have joined the big, 20 turkey flock, we saw a mile across-country from our place. We hope. Who would have thought we’d fall in love with a turkey? — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
