Early Spring for 2016!

Early Spring for 2016!

We had a very mild winter 2015-2016 with a modest amount of snow this year, second year in a row now.  How lucky can we get!  Eastern Canada and the eastern US had our prairie winter this time and we ended up with their winter weather. Go figure! (I suppose they will want to trade back once they realize what's happened. ;)

The Canada Geese showed up early, as they usually do. These photos are of March 5/ 2016, taken in a field just north of Stettler off HWY 56.





  The robins arrived in mid March even though there was still plenty  of snow on the ground and the weather had turned cold after a week of mild weather.


Eating our chokecherries March 23/16


Robin sat outside the breakfast nook for a long tim eating the leftover choke cherries.


Looking in the window at us. Maybe he's saying. "Thank you for breakfast! "  :) 


Not long after this, I saw a small flock of Robins about 7 or 8 of them all sitting together in one of the trees by the driveway. No photo though.

So looking forward to a terrific new growing season!
