I miss springtime there. I also miss that big wide openness. The keys, poignant, the sky, exuberant. Thank you.

I love the pic of the robin. We had a very healthy looking one popping around the deck yesterday…and I wondered if she’s expecting? I love the little glisten of snow in your pic, VJ. Thanks for sharing. 😊

We actually saw some ducklings the other day, so she could be pregnant. Seems early but who knows. Thanks Victoria

Lovely. Someone on Saskbirders posted a pic of their first robin sighting this spring, of course in the snow poor thing.
