SO NICE TO SEE SOME VERY MUCH MOST WELCOME SUNSHINE:))

SPOTTED THIS SOLITARY FELLOW IN A FIELD THIS MORNING

Our temps were sitting at about 35F this morning and with a stiff northwest wind our chill factor was down around the freezing mark.  Kelly reminded me that since being home she has had to wear her winter coat every single morning when taking Pheebs for a walk.

WITH ALL THE RECENT RAIN THERE IS A LOT OF FLOODING AND THE LITTLE CREEK THAT NORMALLY FLOWS THROUGH THOSE TREES JUST RIGHT OF CENTER IS TOTALLY OVER IT’S BANKS AND THEN SOME

NO THAT’S NOT A LAKE OR POND OUT THERE IT’S A FARMER’S FLOODED FIELD

GOING TO BE AWHILE BEFORE THIS LAND IS DRY ENOUGH FOR ANY FARM EQUIPMENT

I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SATURDAY NIGHT BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THESE TWO ARE NOT TALKING SUNDAY MORNING

With morning sunshine tickling the tops of our tall pine trees Pheebs and I weren’t long in getting ourselves out of our pine forest and into the sunshine.  A very welcome dose of Spring tonic for sure.  Again we had to crank up Libby’s heater and keep ourselves inside the Jeep out of the icy winds but nevertheless it was just nice being outside under sunny skies cruising a few country roads on a quiet Sunday morning in rural southwestern Ontario.

CANADA GEESE IN THE KEY OF GREEN AND OH MY HOW NICE TO SEE BLUE SKIES AGAIN

CAN YOU SPOT THE SANDHILL CRANE?? 

‘AHA’ THERE IT IS NOW……….IN THE SECOND PHOTO THIS LONE FELLOW IS THAT LITTLE DARK DOT AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE FIELD

Not a long ride this morning with only one quick stop at the Hullett Marsh where Pheebs got out for a run.  I stood on the lee side of the Jeep out of the cold wind.  Half an hour later we were home again and aside from a few things around the yard I mainly stayed inside where it was toasty warm.

MOURNING DOVE

NESTING SWALLOWS

One of the big advantages to having a sunroom with lots of windows and a view is that it’s the closest thing to being outside without actually being outside.  I comfortably slipped into my cozy little warm corner with my Kindle in hand and read for awhile while also keeping an eye on the Blue Jays, Cardinals, Black Cap Chickadees and Mourning Doves dropping in for some seeds at the feeder.  We have a skylight in our sunroom and the warm sun beaming in on me wasn’t long in sending me off for a short afternoon snooze.  Yep, we sure do like our sunroom alright.  For years and years I had often thought if I was ever fortunate enough to have a house someday one of my main priorities would be to have a sunroom.  And here I are:)))))))
