Finally, I saw robins yesterday!
The mounded snow cover, too, has finally melted quite a bit (that means only about 12 inches high now) in places. There are even large bare spots. I was so happy when I spied some daffodil tips peeking up through the mulch.
And ... I found the missing 3 metal rods that had broken off my wind chime. Since the snow has been melting, I found them beneath the tree in the front of the house. When I get a chance, I'm going to re-string the wind chime and metal rods with strong fishing line.
My backyard (still under a lot of snow cover) is going to need a GOOD CLEAN-UP. Large patches of the yard are covered with piles of deer poop! We've been feeding the deer all winter and they made quite a mess. If there's any consolation, at least we know that a lot of them made it through this tough winter with our help. In particular, there is one large doe and her 2 yearlings that came everyday for the corn we put out. She would sometimes eat right out of my hand. They all look healthy. And ... she is definitely pregnant! I know I complain about the deer that eat my plants, but I know I would miss them if they weren't around.
I'll just have to plant more marigolds. They don't like them at all! :-)
