The colors of spring



This past week the weather was beautiful with temperatures reaching into the eighties. Everywhere I look there are splashes of color; purple wisteria, yellow daffodils, and white dogwood blossoms to name a few. I have really enjoyed watching the trees come to life this week as the buds have started to open, and everything is turning green, and I mean everything. Lots of pollen in the air leaving a greenish yellow film everywhere. Last weekend I finally put my bird feeder up opting for a spot near the bay window, so I could watch them from where I sit in the living room. It took the birds a few days to find it, and they are now happily munching on seeds. Well, I thought it was a good spot. Yesterday I moved the feeder to the side yard due to the unwanted bird #@*! on items in my front yard, mainly my car and the plastic lawn furniture. I hope this solves the problem. If not, the feeder will be moved again. Unfortunately, our wonderful spring weather has disappeared. Today will be rainy with temperatures in the mid thirties. It was nice while it lasted, and I'm looking forward to those eighty degree temperatures returning soon.
