So not amused
There's a great blue heron in the wetland. The first of the season. But there's no photo of it here. Do you know why? Because it is SNOWING.
Snowing.

Snowing, ugg! Too bad you didn't have Snowy Egrets there!
I know...I've heard...
Sorry...
Better, brighter days are ahead of you.

Somebody forgot to turn off the snow machine. Pretty soon you'll be seeing flowers and feeling the warm sun again.
Wasn't spring a great day this year?
I had a junco hopping around on my snow-covered bonsai-pot window feeder this morning looking for seed! I took care of that...now I'd better eat, lol....
mon@rch - I will gladly trade 2 inches of snow for a single egret of any kind
mary - nice to know it can only get better, right?
sandpiper - as long as the flowers aren't surrounded by snow, that's something to look for
dave - I don't know about spring. I think I blinked and missed the whole season.
Ground frost here this morning and a crisp 28 degrees. I think global climate change really gives us two seasons: winter and summer, with short transitions between them.
Oh my! Does the heron know what season it is? ;o) Let's hope you still have a Happy Easter, albeit a *white" Easter. "I'm dreaming of a white Easter" just doesn't cut it. I sure hope this is the end of the white stuff for you and all northern bloggers.
The local news paper today reminded us that we have now officially passed the all-time record for snow (since 1880, the first records we have). If it weren't for the honor ....
Worse yet, it reminds us that we on average get around 4 inches of snow in April. In a normal year, that melts as fast as it falls. This year, I'm nervous.
robin - thank you for saying "climate change" and not "warming" - that's a point we who care need to make over and over.
mary - I'm afraid this is going to be a Darwinian spring for our feathered friends. That may be necessary, but I don't have to like it.
