~~~Were Getting There~~~

Another spell of crazy weather is upon us yet again!!  Two days of sleeveless weather of 80 degrees,and a sunburn from mowing the lawn (yes we have grass enough to mow) to sweatshirt weather, and the forecast is for some below normal temp's for a week !!
All the sights, and sounds of Spring do make it tolerable!!
The daily sound of birds singing , and the peepers and frogs sounding way into the night is better then any music there is to be had!!

Here are a few more photo's from the end of April!!

Red Winged Black Bird !!





Red Winged Black bird (female)


"Yup the Rhubarb's up"!!
Always been a good sign of Spring for Mainer's












Yellow Rumped Warbler April 30 !!

Love when the Warbler's start coming in !!

    Grace it was a mild winter here but spring is springing slowly. I have had frost two mornings running. It was warmer in January.

    What font do you use for No Comments/Post a Comment? If you know I'll see what it looks like played with on a video title.

    It seems to be general Grace, the weather is all over the place.

    The sweet sounds of nature are good enough for me also..........

    Hi Grace...Glad to see you're spring has sprung at last!
    We're just leaving a cold and wet few days for a warm and sunny few days! (still cold nights though!)...who would want to be a weather forecaster?
    Love that Black Bird with his red shoulder stripes...[;o)

      Thanks Trevor...Ya those red wing are gorgeous!!
      My Grandpa could have made good money by telling the forecast the way the clouds looked and how bad his knee pain was!! He did as good as the educated guys do!! : )))

    Hi Grace. Blackbirds in full song and Bees buzzing .. that's a good sign. Let's hope the variable weather doesn't upset the breeding season.

    the red-wings are super; don't you just love rhubarb-crumble/custard - I have it growing pretty much year round in this climate. Enjoy your new-found spring Grace

    Lovely shots of your sprig. Regarding weather, you seem to be in the same weather predicament as we have been for a couple of years now. Either hot or cold. Last summer it was no use packing away our winter things as the temperature varied between over a week over a hundred, then plummeted like a stone, as we got winds from the Antarctic, to around forty.
    Looks like all of us will have to get used to unpredictable weather for a few decades.
    Nature here is totally confused with birds nesting in autumn.

    Lovely! We're a little behind, but the songbirds are returning in force and green things are poking up at a rapid pace. My rhubarb looks about the same as yours now.

    At least there are signs of spring- now if it would just stop raining.
