No it is not all that warm yet and there are only pussy willows in bloom. But the birds have all shown up all at once. There was a flock of robins on the lawn and the geese and ducks are flying over head steadily in the morning. I have commented before that we seem to be on some kind of a flight path for ducks in the early morning. I watch bunch after bunch pass overhead when I walk out to get the newspaper around dawn.
Spring officially arrives this afternoon. Of course we have a stiff northwest breeze and the noontime temperature is in the 30’s and snow is in the forecast for tomorrow but spring is here. To celebrate I am hauling the boat down to Waldoboro for the spring tune up and overhaul. Should be ready to go sometime early next month.
This week I received a marketing proposal from Yahoo to take advantage of their Fast Track Sponsored Links program. When the salesperson called she was very helpful of course. But, I have a rule about wanting to see something in writing before I agree to it. She agreed to send along the specifics and they did in fact arrive later that day.
