Re: It's Coming!!!!!!!

Spring is definitely here now. Humidity has returned. Was 40-50% last week with temps in the 60s and 70s. Now it's 84 degrees with 80% humidity. Makes me think about turning on the A/C. :D

Here's my front yard this evening:

Bluebird on the feeder hook, standing guard over the nest in the birdhouse!
Cardinal on the bird feeder
Dove on the ground tray in front

Sweet!

65 here in Minnesota. Pretty hard to find snow around here. Shore lines starting to show in places. I ice fished Sat night which could be the last time this year.

Re: It's Coming!!!!!!!

Even though we still have some waiting yet for open water I am pleased that the temps are warmer.Mid to upper 20's for lows sure beats the mid teens for highs.

The waiting is a lot tougher since getting laid off a few weeks ago. At least I will have more time to get and keep the boat cleaned and ready to launch.

Dont know how they put up with that stuff up North Trent, but I was in Birmingham a few weeks ago in a hail storm and then y'all had snow!
If I ever see a snowflake here in Ft. Myers, Im heading back to my Southern California beaches!
