I wish I lived where you folks are. They is still 2-3 feet of snow on the ground and the only birds around are the crows. The good news is I saw a crocus coming out of the ground in the flowerbed where the snow has actually melted. But then it is back to reality 10-15 cms (4-6in) of snow tomorrow evening. Our springs don't really happen here. It skips from winter to summer. You can be wearing boots one day shoes the next and then sandals by the end of the week.
