Spring in the Air
It felt like Spring arrived yesterday. I noticed it first when I let Rusty out to his pen. He bounded out joyfully and then stood and sniffed the air. Then when I left the house to go to Aquarobics, I thought I could feel it in the air, too. I felt excited and eager. But when I went out to the car, the built up ice in the driveway was very slippery, because it was starting to melt. I hd to get to the car with great care, but I made it safely!
When I left from Aquarobics, the temperature was 48 degrees. That's wonderful! The snow is melting slowly and water is running everywhere outside. Icicles are melting and beginning to fall down. During the day, I kept hearing a thud, and it was ice falling off the house. We are supposed to get a little more snow today, but that warmth yesterday surely speaks of warmer days ahead of us.
I bought a "critter block" before Christmas. It was packed solid with seeds and peanuts, about 8 inches square. It was for chipmunks, squirrels and birds. I put it in a safe place on the wall of the dog pen. No cirtters came to it. No critters came to Carolyn's bird feeder either. But yesterday, I saw a chipmunk out there getting the seeds. I was happy to see him. I hope he has a feast.
