I am in such a holding pattern at the moment! One of the fun things about Facebook and Twitter is that I can see in status updates and tweets, but this spring, I realize how painfully slow migration seem when you live in the northern US. At first, I was excited to see robins, notice the little chipping sparrows showing up, hear the peent of the woodcock…but now that I see status updates that include blue-winged warblers, scarlet tanagers, and painted buntings from friends–I can hardly contain myself.
Couple that with waiting for my bees to arrive, I just can’t stand it!
Spring. Here. Now.
















Spring is here in the N.E., a mallard hen laid an egg om my front lawn.
Ummm, the mourning doves are copulating on my balcony railing. Does that count as Spring?
