Think I'll sit down here for a bit... (6)

[QuiltAngel]

Oh Lambie, I wish I could. That would be so much fun.

My niece emailed today some of the plans she has made. It is going to be great. She wanted to know if we wanted to see the tallest building in the world. Well, yeah.

latebloomer,
I have got to get to town and soon. Every time I try to, it snows and our road gets bad. Got to get there Friday and then again on Sat. evening.

Maybe when I get back from my vacation, it will be much nicer here.

 

[latebloomer]

Quiltie, it's supposed to be mid 30s tomorrow!!!! I hope at least the roads get better. My in-laws left on a trip to visit my brother-in-law today, and they've been wondering if they'd have any trouble getting to the airport. They're farther south and have more snow than we do. Odd how that happened this year. Usually we're the part of the state that gets dumped on. I'll know spring is getting closer when my "pet" concrete raccoon reappears. Rocky's under that snowdrift somewhere.

 

[QuiltAngel]

How about the eastern part of the state? My daughter's boyfriend is in CR and they have really gotten dumped on.

Studeclunker, my crocuses almost always start blooming March 28, give or take a day or two. Right now, they have 2 feet of snow on them. I have started watching for robins and grackles. The grackles come back a week or two before the robins.

We'll get Robins in a couple of weeks. George want's to know, what's a Grackle?

This has been the mildest winter in a very long time...
Crocuses came up about a week ago and my other bulbs on my front porch have started coming up. Tulips and daffodils.
I don't think the robins ever left and I think this weekend I will clean and fill the hummingbird feeders...

Seajoy wants to know that too.

Webcam or phone?

Webcam, but I was late for dinner.

Seajoy wants to know that too.

A Grackle is a very ugly and annoying black bird.

Hubby is coming home tomorrow night. That will be so great. I'm about bored stiff. Think I'll go read for a while.

Around these parts, we call em starlings. Add dirty to that description also- they poo everywhere! Actually, their feathers are kinda pretty- they have a very dark blue and purple sheen to them. But that doesn't make me like them any better.

I saw 2 robins here a couple weeks ago- one of those below zero nasty days, all fluffed up sitting on a crabapple tree. I don't know if they came back too early, or were partying when everybody left last fall and they missed the boat! In any case, they looked VERY out of place, sitting there in the cold with snow all around. I felt sorry for them.

 

[seajoy]

We just got 3" more last night....no robins here.

 

[QuiltAngel]

We see the sun today! Wonder how long it is going to last.

It is actually above 32 degrees also! Wow, time to get out the shorts, it is hot out.

 

[QuiltAngel]

Okay, I HAVE to finish a kid's FAFSA form, get my taxes stuff off to the accountant, pack, send thank you's now that my brother sent me a bunch to use. Would someone hide my computer, please.

 

[QuiltAngel]

Wait, I went to set my computer aside and realized I need it for the FAFSA and for addresses.

Such distractions. Must resist, CF and all other forums and sites except fafsa on the web.

Good, then you can help me mow. We've already hit 90!

 

[seajoy]

WooHoo!!! My light just came, my light just came!!!! I'm gonna go get happy now!
Perhaps I'll be a new person.

I think the sun is supposed to last for at least a few hundred million more years.

Bring your mittens! Seriously, there's no telling what the weather in MN will do this time of year. I remember I was there in May and it snowed. But in a place that has winter 9 months out of the year and more lakes than any place on earth should ever have, you just never know what to expect.
