is it spring?

Lately, the days are a schizophrenic mix of downpour rain, hail, and brilliant sunshine. Tonight, there was a swirling dark cloud to the east that looked like it could easily drop a house out of the sky, kill a witch, and swoop us off over the rainbow. Nothing so dramatic as that happened, but it was weird and impressive.

There is a frost warning tonight. I am hopeful that the flowers that have survived the hail storms so far will survive the cold tonight.

This afternoon, Missy and I saw these birds at the feeders on the back porch. I think they are Evening Grosbeaks, and even though this is not our photo (we couldn't get a good shot before they flew away), they looked exactly like this. Only more of them. They were beautiful and super cool looking.


Yup. It's spring.
