Im worried about them coming early like that then nkt being abke to survive when the crazy weather gets cold again like it has...

We still have Juncos and Chickadees in our yard- they're both winter birds. I have seen a couple of Robins though.

I live a couple hundred yards from a huge Canada Goose wintering area, there are literally thousands of them- they fly right over my house, it's pretty awesome

The temp has gone down to 38 and now it's spitting some sleet, the snow level is down to 1,000ft and we're at 550 here

Where they mess up is if the bugs come early, but the birds are still on the old schedule. Nothing to eat the bugs when they come out, then nothing for the birds to eat when they arrive.

A really nice spring day here today. I got in the garden and did a little high speed planting before work. At 1655 it's sunny, 76F with 35% humidity. Forecast high/low of 79/62F with 10% chance of rain tonight. 10 day high/low 82/49F with two half days of possible rain.

Today and tomorrow are good above ground planting days, so if you are snow free, you might think about planting.

Spring came early here, too. It's also unseasonably dry.

70 degrees and a lovely day to walk my dog around City Park lake so I can ogle the college girls.

We're both old dogs lol

I'm not overly religious, but in light of all the ways to feed babies, I'm glad the Good Lord decided to make us mammals. On nice sunny Spring days, especially.

-15 celcius and 10 inches of snow when I left home. 30 celcius up here in Orlando! Gives me the outdoor itch

We get a large percentage of our annual precipitation in March and April, mostly as snow. It's been very warm, and therefore very dry so far.
kinda like the old saying April Showers Bring May Flowers... Well i dont really go by that here anymore.... We use to get what i pretty much thought of as our "base" precipitation throughout the year from all the snow melting off and keeping the ground saturated... Well for one we dont get near the snow we use to.. Or the rain... Makes for some scarily dry creeks and low rivers....it can flood here one day..stop raining and the next day the water is still high.. The next day it is a little to high to fish... The day after that the fishing is perfect.. Next day its getting low... ..that isnt right... It use to rain and fill up the creeks and the the fishing was good for four or five days..and even after that it took a week or so before it got really low... And still not as low as it gets now.. In the past 2 years iv seen creeks that have NEVER ran dry do just that.. Shit scares me tbh

Less snow means less buffer. The ground gets dry and doesn't hold water as well, allowing rains to run off instead of soaking in. It's a bad cycle that portends poorly for the future.

Global warming and other events of shortsighted human activity is going to be the end of us if we don't chain the corporatocracy and put it on a short leash.

Was a cool damp morning in Larry Land. I stayed at the camp, and it wasn't really cold last night. This morning I worked in the yard, and I had on jacket and gloves. Go figure.

At 1910 it's cloudy, 58F with 76% humidity. Forecast high/low of 73/55F with 10% chance of rain tonight. 10 day high/low of 84/52F with a day and a half of possible rain. I got lots of planting done this weekend, so rain would be welcome.
