For a few minutes, at least while I was listening to him, it really did feel a bit like spring.<br /><br />Cathy: Tonight will likely be near zero, but the forecast is for sun and temperatures near 40 for Saturday. I am very much ready for that much improvement in the weather. <br /><br />Barbara: I am much appreciating the slightly longer days, too. At least now I can get home from work and take care of most of my evening chores before it's completely dark. This evening the sun was still above the mountain horizon--a big improvement!<br /><br />Scott: i wondered what killed the osprey? Do you think it collided with something? i'm not surprised to hear that something took advantage of its death.<br /><br />Elora: The longer days are enough for me right now. The sky has cleared so it's not gloomy with low clouds. The brighter weather is a big help after the shortest days.<br /><br />Pablo: i don't expect to see 50's just yet. the 40's will be a big improvement. <br /><br />Laura: A couple of days with warmer temperatures sure feels better after weeks of cold weather and gloomy skies.Carolyn Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179182853082650546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-64086927967616087232011-02-10T01:19:40.815-05:002011-02-10T01:19:40.815-05:00I felt a hint of Spring the other day... not sure ...I felt a hint of Spring the other day... not sure what it was exactly, but I was glad for it!<br /><br />: )LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-25356351386847192032011-02-09T06:24:24.838-05:002011-02-09T06:24:24.838-05:00One more truly bitter day around here, then we pro...One more truly bitter day around here, then we progress into the 50s. Not bad for February in Kansas City. We got another few inches of snow last night, but it hardly seems there compared to the two feet we got last week.<br /><br />Spring, you say?Pablohttp://www.roundrockjournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-41205692292102560992011-02-08T11:04:28.142-05:002011-02-08T11:04:28.142-05:00Hang in there, Carolyn!

I often see skunks in the winter, but not when the ground is snow- and ice-bound like it is now. In December, I buried an Osprey found dead on the property in a foot-deep grave; something (coyote? raccoon?)found it overnight and left a pile of feathers.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443352705506509732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-26063752584877616292011-02-07T21:06:47.344-05:002011-02-07T21:06:47.344-05:00Carolyn -- We are having the same weather here in ...Carolyn -- We are having the same weather here in KY as you are. Snowing as I write. My 4th winter here and the hardest winter yet. Nature is bringing Spring in slowly -- the best sign right now -- for me -- is the longer daylight hours.<br />-- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-51150498444303722002011-02-07T21:05:19.428-05:002011-02-07T21:05:19.428-05:00Lol!!!!
