Well, here it is the 5th of March and I woke up
this morning to find the ground covered in more snow. Yesterday was freezing rain
and sleet and overnight it snowed. Doesn’t Mother Nature know that it is March!
Spring is only a couple of weeks away and we are looking forward to daffodils
and crocus blooming.
My little friend here decided to peek his head out of the
snow and tell me he is ready for some warmer weather as well. He is what I call
one of my garden guardians. I have many of these little creatures in my flower
beds to give me someone to talk to while I am taking care of my flowers during
the warmer months. Yes, I do talk to them, but the conversations are usually a
little one sided!

The birds are mad too! I didn’t get my bird feeder filled up
yesterday and now they are having to scurry around on the ground underneath it,
looking for fallen sunflower seeds. This male cardinal doesn’t look too pleased
and the chickadees are sitting on the feeder, tapping on it to see if they can
get any more seeds to fall out. I think that is also how they tell me that the
feeder is empty! I will get outside in a few minutes to fill it back up.

The squirrels aren't too pleased either. They are having to dig under
the snow covered leaves to find those acorns they buried earlier in the
year. I am pretty sure I heard this little guy cursing as he was trying to find his breakfast!
Well, here is hoping that this is the last of the snow for
this season. I admit I am tired of being cooped up in the house and ready to
get back outside and work in the yard. I think I am even looking forward to
moving the grass, but don’t tell hubby that!
