Today--April 25, 2013

This morning we again woke up to more snow!!!  When will it end? 



We have been back from Arizona for almost a month.  And it has been mostly dark and dreary and SNOWY since we've been home.  Yesterday, the snow melted a little bit, then this morning we woke up to this.....



The forecast says 70's by next week.  I'm wondering if they are making that up... just to give every one hope!!!

On the brighter side, I did get some neat photos of Yellow Rumped Warblers.  They are migrating north from Mexico.  According to my bird book, they reside a little farther north of here.  Perhaps some will stay for the summer. 



And that's the way it is.

  1. I never knew yellow rumps would visit a suet block. Good thing they are the hardiest of the warblers!

  4. My husband dragged all the deck furniture out yesterday (without washing any of it. grr) Based on past experience, this means snow in the next day or so. But I sure hope not.

  9. I saw one of these for the first time ever yesterday. I had no idea what it was. Looking forward to the snow melting here, too.

  11. You left Arizona too soon! I like snow in small doses from the comfort of a big chair next to a picture window. Hope you see some sun soon. Today is in the upper 60s and my garden is beginning to show green...lettuce, carrots, onions, and tomatoes have all ped through the ground. We've already harvested a few radishes that were volunteers from last years planting.

  12. I think another month in Arizona next year might be a good idea! Can't believe you've still got snow!

  13. I know how you feel, I thought that last huge snow fall we had would never melt and go away. Now instead of snow we have rain. The sun is shining today but not warm. I know what is going to happen, it is going to turn off really hot all of a sudden. Love the Warblers.

  15. We had a couple inches of new snow yesterday too, but I think most of that has melted, although there is still lots of snow on the ground. I wish our predictions were for the 70's--instead it might hit the 40s. Spring is very reluctant this year! We get the yellow rumped warblers here in the summer, but so far none have shone their pretty little rumps.

  16. Methinks you came home toooo soon. Much too soon. Those 70s you might get next week? They are NOT going to feel like 70s, that's for sure,

  17. They are so very pretty, and the snow makes them even brighter.

    We get heat, then frost, then warmth, and wind...

    Mixed up seasons.
