Yes.I have thought of a plan! It should have come right to mind but it didn't. Now all is clear. Tomorrow,when it is light,cause to head out in the dark is just plain crazy, I will head to the side yard. With shovel in hand I will dig out a nice yard or two patch. Not that I miss shovelling the snow falls,well actually I do,Jess got one and we didn't, but I need to clear a bit where the robins always like to be. There has been a robin close and that is driving me crazy!! Sort of explains the shovel in the side yard plan,sort of!!! LOL!!! Here in Canada after a long and heavily snowed winter,we see the first robin as a sign of spring. Now usually that would be a matter of looking at the calendar and knowing spring was a week away. But that isn't the case this year. We still have tons of snow and I figure that spring has to come,or at least look like it's coming because Steve and Janice can't arrive to winter conditions,something about Steve's knees??? Puzzling really but seems he thinks the knees might suffer if they have to land in banks of snow. So to lay claim to knowledge of spring really coming one must be able to say... yes! I saw a robin! I,at the moment, can say yes I heard a robin but that does nothing to assure the arrival of spring. Hence the plan!!! The robin must be at a feeder because the area is either cleared sidewalks or paved roads the rest is snow!!! I always love to see the first robin,the male all dark and beautiful with their full red breasts. I bugged Kathryn and being the wonderful Mother she is provided me with the info!!! Aren't Mother's great??? They see the need and fullfill it selflessly! Brit robins are different than ours,smaller with red and white on their breasts. So I think if I clear an area and the sun heats the bare ground the earth and worms will attract the birds and I will sucessfully be able to say I saw a robin and start spring here. A powerful position to have but who ever has been seeing that robin has not announced it or spring would be starting. I must be sucessful in order to assure Steve that the Canada leg of the trip will be worth it!!! Without snow as high as the ....dare I say it??? Knees!!! |

Oop's Marg not a Robin......but i do like your plan my friend. Glad your not going out in the dark, shovelling snow.....but it is amazing how nature can change once that calendar changes the date to the first day of spring!
