The Meadowlarks are back.....
and so are the Red Winged Black birds...... both of their songs are signs of spring. We brought our tax info away today and the gal said those were her two favorite song birds. Well --- the Meadow Lark -- for sure!!! But ???? the Red Winged Black bird ?!?!?!? --- only because it's a sign of spring!! They group up in tree tops and really make a lot of racket....... that's all I can think of to call it --- racket!!!
We got our peepers today......
......those little white ones will soon be fat ugly meat chickens that can't even stand up to eat........ And the brown ones ---- Rhode Island Reds.... brown egg layers....... the best kind. Right now we have a mixed up mess of half Banty and half who knows what. They lay brown eggs of all sorts of sizes. We have one full blooded Banty --- she's an ornery little thing and a pretty Banty rooster who might just have to go --- else we could end up with a mixed up mess again.
As I said --- spring seems to be on the way --- but this past Monday evening we had a sudden bit of nasty winter --- so we need to realize that it IS only mid March. But looking forward to the garden
planting and all that fun stuff....and camping.......
Beautiful day outside........
JDC tonight......
Release Time tomorrow......
God is so good ---- feel blessed.....

Love the Meadowlark and yes the red-winged black bird means spring to me also. I also saw a Robin yesterday, he looked like he was cold and confused. Must have been the wind.
