Subject: RE: BS: Signs of Spring
Wild flowers fightin' their way up. Yesterday, before today's 4 inches of snow here in the Blue Ridge Mt in Wes Ginny, I found several stands of "Blood Root" in full bloom, "Snow Drops", "Crokus" in bloom. The "native" azalea's are startin' to bloom. We have "Tooth Wart" up and "May Apple" pokin' up. The "Larkspur" is showin' as is my rare "Twin Leaf". "Dafoldills" are budded and right now covered with buckets to keep the freeze off then tonight.
The birds couoldn't care less about todays snow. They are moving into the nesting boxes and making nests in the evergreens. The male wren filled up one nesting box today hopin' to impress some lady wren. Them boy wrens ain't got a lick of sense! A titmouse has started making a nest not 20 feet from my bedroom. Oh goodie! "pswittt, pswittt, pswittt" for the next two months. Awwww, I don't care! It's spring and I'm in love with the P-Vine! Right? Don't get no better than that!
