Spring is here...not really!!


What a wonderful way to start 2008, it's like early spring out there! Yesterday we had a high of 69° and today is 66° !
We went for a nature walk yesterday, it was so weird because usually there is so much to see as far as birds, squirrels and bugs, but not yesterday.
We saw ONE ant, that's it! :)
We found a few pine cones still hanging from the tree so we decided to take them home and do a nature study craft with them.
The kids are loving this weather, today they were riding their scooters and just running around with the other kids.
Dh is going to set up some type of bird watch spot for us. We are going to get different bird feeders, to attract different types of birds. Then we'll buy bird food and hopefully watch them as they eat it. I also want to get some food to attract squirrels. That'll gives us something to do as far as winder nature study.
Once spring comes the hummingbirds will be back and so will the bugs!!! I can't believe I'm looking forward to bugs being back.
As far as this weather goes, we have a wind advisory for tomorrow and a cold front is coming after that, so we're going back outside!!
