For our daffys, I'm still looking for the tiniest green tip to show above the ground.

This morning was the first time I heard a couple of songbirds singing their spring songs as dawn. Spring weather only started about a week ago. Later than usual. I haven't noticed flowers shoots breaking ground yet either.

We noticed Annabelle (cat) staring intently out the back window - - it was a flock of robins foraging in what will hopefully blossom into the wildflower garden. The birds are year-round residents, but they don't start foraging on the ground in large numbers until Spring. Also, about a week back, we heard a redwing calling among the phragmites. That bird is usually a reliable indicator of Spring about to start.

Should be. The first to show sprout from the bulbs planted around the old well. Ground there thaws earlier, and there is a small area that cleared of snow & ice over the past few days. I'll have to go out and look, maybe with a magnifier.

My daughter makes these doilies. She probably also took this photo (but I provided photo equipment and tech support

) She has the sense to know that my DSLR is better for her Etsy photos than phone shots.

Glass balloons. They're hanging down, so maybe they are glass lead balloons - there's a thought. My error, they are LEAD GLASS balloons.
