    Have a great day. We have been having some nice weather the past few days. Yesterday was windy, but, Spring is just around.
    I am getting anxious to start my seeds indoors, our growing season is short. This year I will be doing my veggies in tires

    I just opened my door in NH to check if spring is in the air but all I can smell this a.m. is woodsmoke.

    Good morning to you too. The robins are out here too and I'm so glad. I am so ready for spring. Hope you have a beautiful sun filled day.

    I've been hearing birds a lot too. But, my friend told me that you can tell it's spring if the pecan trees are budding.

    We have seen robins all winter long - it was COLD! First time we saw them in this time of year.

    Just got hubbie off to work and am going through my emails. We finally have gotten out of the snowy days and am seeing temp in the 70's. I am so ready for spring. The cold weather really plays havoc with my arthritis. Have a wonderful day and make sure that you spend time quilting, talking with a friend and always tell DH how much you love him. Jeanniebelle

    Is it a flowering quince?

    Yesterday was BEAUTIFUL here in Maine. Rained last night. Haven't seen a robin yet but i have no berries or lawn showing for them yet. Still mtns. of snow. Actually sweated snowshoeing yesterday. Good quilting weather coming. I don't like Mar. and Apr. as all there is is mud and don't like being outside then. LOve winter though.

    A friend said she saw a blue bird (not a blue jay) yesterday. Yes, spring is definitely on the way. Thanks for the robin sighting.
