The Song Sparrow singing.

The first Barn Swallow scout, to be followed by the whole "herd" within 3-4 days.

It's lighter when my husband leaves for work at 7:00 AM and it's light when he comes home at 5:30 PM.

It snows horse hair when I groom them.  Well, it's only a true snowstorm if the horse is grey.

Subject: [RC] Springtime survey

I was thinking about things that represent the coming of spring to me here in Montana. Here?s a short list:

• I hear the variegated thrush singing when I go out to feed
• It?s lighter in the morning and evening when I feed
• When I come back in from feeding, I?ve got the usual amount of hay on me and in my hair, but I?m starting to see more horse hair mixed in with it
• I?ve got a line on my pants that?s at about mid-shin. It?s dirt and it just happens to line up perfectly with the mud/dirt-encrusted running boards on my truck.

 

What are your indicators that Spring is coming?
