Surprise! Spring is On Her Way!!!!!


Snowdrops



More Snowdrops



Daffodils




More Daffodils

Bluebells


I went outside yesterday and walked all over my property. The first place I went was, of course, to check and see if any of our snowdrops were peeking out yet. Not only were they peeking out they were starting to BLOOM. The Daffodils and Bluebells were also visible. How exciting! We all know it is still cold and capable of snowing with two inches on the ground this morning. But as I said to my brother today, when he was returning from an amazing birdwatching trip (64 species) in Cape May, Old Man Winter is on his way out. Let these sweet little snowdrops bring us hope for the lovely days ahead when nature comes to life. The anticipation is wonderful.

Look! It's a Stranger in the MY Woods


Look who is my first visitor! It's a Chickadee! She is taking a seed from the stranger's hat.


She found the bird seed in the pipe too! Not long after that, a Tufted-tit Mouse found it too!


I put bird seed in his cap and pipe to attract the birds.



This is my snowman before I decorated him.
