Well, hello there little harbinger!
March 13, 2013
(I was going to make this a "Wordless Wednesday" post, but I'm too excited not to babble a bit!)
So today's big news - since the smoke was black and not white :) - Earlybird and I just spotted the first chipmunk of the year! As I'm sure most of you know, chipmunks go into hibernation in mid-fall, and emerge at winter's end. We like to keep track of when they leave and return - and it's always a cause for celebration when they are spotted sometime in late winter/early spring. We're big fans of chipmunks around here!
So take heart my northeastern friends - spring can't be too far away! And boy is it ever a lovely day here in New England - the light is bright and the ground is nearly clear of snow. And the air! Oh, the air ... soft and cool, but not cold. I have a few windows open because the temperature is near 50 degrees!
Can you tell I'm just a wee bit excited for spring?
:)
(And no, I'm not paying any attention to those snowflakes in next week's forecast. Nope. None at all.)
Enjoy your Wednesday, my friends!
