Robins, Worms and Bulbs

When a robin cocks his head

Sideways in a flower bed,
Does he hear the tiny sound
Of a worm beneath the ground?

This little bird sat still outside our back patio yesterday morning. He was quietly listening (you could tell!) for a snack to appear. In one photo, if you enlarge and look closely, you can see him pulling the worm from the ground.......awwww Spring!

(hmmmmm, our backyard grass is a lot greener than our front yard grass!)

Although the weather is a little damp, it has warmed up a bit and after a shower of sleet on Saturday, my husband and I went to the local nursery to "feed our weary winter souls".

We found a few plants that may or may not bloom, or even survive....they were in the "reduced" bin. But we are always up for a challenge! (...and I did save the receipt, just in case!)

We also bought several packages of bulbs, and hopefully in a few weeks our yard will have some new and beautiful colors.

Happy Spring! I hope you are able to do something "spring-like" to welcome the new season.
