We always looked for and celebrated the Robin's return! Here, I swear they were only gone for late December and January. Maybe they were actually here but in hiding, I don't know. It's weird seeing Robins in February and having to think "no, it's not a sign of Spring." And my grandmother lived on a lake and I haven't seen ice on shore like that since I was little at her house.

I would love to stay and chit chat at length about what your lake must be like, ask a zillion questions an offer to mail you one of our robins, I'm sure we could spare one, though we love to hear their song, but alas Dirt has stuck his head inside and found me out and he has requested that I come and help with the last sheets of hidious poly-carbonate so out I must go.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-33417370699068674932010-03-30T12:32:36.483-05:002010-03-30T12:32:36.483-05:00I love the sounds of nature.

I've experienced my first rite of spring this year - the porch swing was put up last week. That is the official first thing that happens here each year. Lots more to do though. It takes me longer each year to get it done, but I guess there is no spring police ready to arrest me if I don't get it all done on time.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-67395684737589944192010-03-29T16:51:00.501-05:002010-03-29T16:51:00.501-05:00I love your description of the ice sounding like w...I love your description of the ice sounding like wind chimes!
