Spring has been spotted in Fenton and in Durand Mi.  The redwing blackbirds are back. Not long now.

And i saw a yellow bellied sickle tail sap sucker slurping succulant sap from a spruce this morning in my front yard.  I dont know whether or not he seen his shadow, but its a good sign just to see a sap sucker in march.

The boat's been stored in the Swine Barn at the Shiawassee Fairgrounds all winter (the ultimate pig for jiggin). It's coming home Friday!!

Ive seen a possum out in my apple orchard digging the last two days in a row I think he woke up from hibernation and decided hes ready for spring as well, I know Im ready!

[Skulley]

I'm ready.  What's Erie look like from the satellite??  Erie Satellite March 11, 2008   22:02 hours GMT  Still a bit of ice.......Too many clouds over St. Clair when you scroll up.

I too have a possum walking by the window as I type this.

Today there was the smell of Spring in the air.  Still hiding a little, but detectable to say the least.


Gee, are we all just a little bit anxious or what?

The giant snowman the kids built in the back yard has melted down to 8'! I think it'll still be there in May.

Just the other day I noticed two Blue Herons standing on their nests out at Kensington, don't know if they jumped the gun or not.

[spinninbug]

We have seen several robins already,  but since we saw them we got another snow storm,  but I know once they come back it can't be to much longer. 

[REEL_MAN]

I'm setting at the boat ramp waiting for the ice to thaw , well maybe in a couple of weeks
