This time, I feel cheated. It's cold, and there is dirty ice and snow all over. No fair. Howzit for you?

AM, we all woke up to about 4 to 6 inches of fresh fallen snow and it looked like a beautiful winter wonderland - until one looked at the calendar. :cold:

Now, it's flatter and dirtier but mighty good to see as I anticipate more dirty snow and dirty grass showing the way to spring.

It feels rock hard when shovelling. The latest snow storm just missed The Peg and hit surrounding areas including Kenora and other parts of Ontario. This is a year we will talk about for years to come.

The migratory sort of hummingbird returned 2 weeks ago and last night I had 5! hummingbirds of 2 sorts bathing and feeding near their bedtime last night 7:30- 8:00pm. There are more of them visiting since I started trying to attract them a few years ago. It will be hot there before you know it! Edited by Dana, Apr 3 2014, 05:11 AM.
