I know most of my Loyal Readers are shivering, with temperatures in the teens and even single digits, so you'll be glad to know that spring it on its way. A week ago I was working in our backyard when a flock of robins came through: bird after bird, alighting only long enough for identification before resuming their steady course—straight north. As I stood there with sweat pouring down my face—my below-zero wind chill experience of ten days earlier barely a dim memory—I could hardly blame them. Our highs were in the 80's and a few days later we switched the thermostat from "Heat" to "A/C."
Poor robins! I hope they didn't get too far north last week. It's 47 degrees at the moment, and the thermostat switch has reverted. Then again, I'm sure 47 degrees sounds like a tropical paradise to most of you....Couldn't verify you're not a robot. Wait a moment and post your comment again.
