What I see in my backyard...

That's an amazing difference Sci.....you must be so sick of it all!

Although, the upside, you must have great arm muscles from shovelling.

I rarely spend time outside, but I see from my recliner that buds have emerged on the trees right outside my book room.

A quick iPad video pan out the back door yesterday. Not in Sci's league, but a record for the date here:

Thanks for the snow, great backyard too

Lots and lots of snow, with more to come.

View attachment 38426 Here's an earlier photo, quite a difference!

I have I agree with Leelai--that is a big difference between the two pictures. You must have a lot of squirrels employed for snow duty to tidy up the place!

Gosh, I wish I were seeing bid formation from where I am sitting. Just not seeing it yet. I am getting so tired of wearing the parka and want desperately to wear shorts/t's and flip flops!

Great video, Lanny...you sure did get quite a bit of snow. Your backyard sure does look pretty though!!

You wouldn't believe the muscles they develop from snow removal. The most important thing, though, is that they come real cheap. They do, after all, work for peanuts.

I always find it disconcerting coming out of winter to suddenly seeing my legs again after so long! Hubby enjoys it though.

I thought about you Sci--there were so many squirrels running around in my backyard the other day! One found a half cored out apple left for the deer. I took a picture of it as it was snacking on it!

I love wearing shorts and T's---I like the light weight feeling you get after having to wear layers upon layers to stay warm! I think it will be very soon for us now. The last two days I have seen 4 robins out-so a for sure sign of Spring!! Yess!!!

I hope that the robins appearing is a sure sign of spring.....saw an article on Punxsutawney Phil in our paper the other day, a lot of folk were upset with him with 1 lawyer wanting to sue him

I hope so to! It will lift the spirits of many Michiganders who are suffering from Cabin fever!!

Poor Punxsutawney Phil--he's getting such a bad rap right now! In fact there's a poster on Facebook wanting him fired from his position!!

Poor Phil.....he should get some slack. He's only been wrong this once....much better strike rate than all the weather experts!

Last I heard Phil went into hiding because of all the complaints! He couldn't handle it anymore. He can't bare to even look at his own shadow at this point...just a nervous wreck! Some of the weather experts should take a few lessons from Punxsutawney for his accuracy in the past!!

Happy Easter y'all.

My surprise visitor this morning. We've had two beautiful days, but the snow isn't melted yet.

We call these birds Robins here in N. America. if one of you Brits. Would post a real Robin these guys would be very surprised to see the difference.
