Spring

Further evidence of the arrival of spring - the redwing blackbirds arrived today.  

Right on time.  You could almost set a clock to their predictability.

No sign of the resident sandhill cranes yet - although a patron at the bar on Friday shared that he spied a pair performing their courtship dance.

There's still 8-10 inches of snow on the level but it's been a sunny 55F day on the porch.

I may have to go out and set a spell.

Maybe enjoy an afternoon beer.....
