It felt good last week to sketch something that looked like spring.

Oh, Trudy! Thank you so much. Love your comments on this.

Today my email had lots of notifications!

When we first went to this format I got more email notifications (to Earthlink) than before but now I don't get any including when a new conversation is posted. Actually I daily check the conversation and alert buttons and probably prefer it this way.

Using a challenge recipe was interesting but I liked it for these crazy deer that make themselves at home everywhere.

Chris @faerywings a super image for spring and springing forward. I'm with Cheryl @Cherylndesigns about not minding going this direction as I also do not sleep/wake early. Being retired, many things happen when they happen so clock doesn't matter for them. But, can't believe that last week I was...

Angie, thank you so much! Brought a smile to DH and me both.

Dark-eyed Juncos are reliable winter birds here. One day DH got to photograph this one with his new camera using the car as a rolling blind. They are so handsome.

We got about an inch of snow but that is not unexpected in March. Hope we get back to warm soon. Chris @faerywings hope you were able to chill with Cait and a puzzle. We usually have one going & I like that a lot. Trudy & Rae @taxed4ever @bcgal00 how sweet that Canada Post was on the ball and...

It's chilly and gray today but spring is really putting out signs. Last Saturday we saw a Common Grackle in the yard which is our #1 sign spring is coming. Yesterday coming home from art class I noticed robins in several yards, including ours. They appear to be the summer birds, males arriving...

Maybe none of the above? Go outside instead of any of it. I don't care if it's raining. Drive to lake and just look if that's the case. No Cleaning today!

Welcome to the O from the other side of the lake in Ohio.

News for Felis @felis, yesterday DH cut back the poinsettia. Looks ugly now but already had bits of new green starting. Did my art class yesterday and did research at the historical society today. Zoom meeting in the morning. Brought home from the library a season (6 discs) of Dr. Who with David...

V - violets (hoping it won't be too long till they're blooming in our yard)

It takes lots experimentation to learn about ways birds migrate but there is evidence some use what we can call the star compass. Wonderful word for the challenge.

I really did hesitate to take a class in 2012 because I wasn't sure it wasn't too late for me to make use of it. Ha! I got over it.

Chris @faerywings I took a walk to neighbor's where her winter aconite is a welcome early taste of spring. I took photos of various things there and along our driveway and want to share this positive proof of growth and blooming!

I never change mine and don't like big ones as they seem distracting in the forums. But I'm not a Cheery O or on any CT.

We had two days of warmth that melted all the snow except where shoveled/plowed. Then woke to a light dusting of snow yesterday but it's gone now. Tonight we get the rain/sleet/snow storm. @faerywings I think of you when I hear the cardinals singing as they know spring is coming. Love the...
