All of the pictures this week were taken last Friday morning. The sky was overcast and snow still lingered, but in spite of the gray and damp, there was some promise of spring in the air.
Meanwhile, the signs around the bird feeders are encouraging. The grackles are back and last week a flock of red-wing blackbirds passed through. The water in the birdbath finally thawed and a male mourning dove is attempting to unfreeze the heart of a very pretty little female dove. So far she has been coy, neither accepting or rejecting his courtship. He follows her everywhere and they sit together sometimes on a winter-bare branch of the cherry tree outside our kitchen window. Ah, spring!
