I WISHED OUR DARN WEATHER WOULD WARM UP!!

 I'M GUESSING THIS LITTLE FELLOW IS A CHIPPING SPARROW

I don't know what's going on with Blogger's format again but now it won't let me chose the size of font I like to type with making the small print harder to see for me. And yet the published font size is fine. Well, I guess that's all that matters really except that these Blogger bugs really bug me!! Oooops, I just accidentally must have somehow fixed it.  Yes, these computers can certainly be a love/hate thing alright:((  

 OUR FRONT YARD IS FINALLY GREENING UP

It was a cold and windy uninspiring start to the day and not even a few Sun splashes made it any better for me. Pheebs and I wandered around for a while with Libby's heater on and came home again. Resigned myself to the fact it was going to be another inside day but did manage to talk myself into taking Pheebs for a little half-hour Scooter toot around Bayfield after lunch.  Wind gusts were really bad today or we might have ventured out of town a little further.

 AFTER THURSDAY'S ALL DAY RAIN FARMERS WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR DRYER FIELDS

 AND IF YOUR WANTING TO HAVE YOUR BROWN FIELD LOOKING LIKE A FLAT GULF THIS HEAVY ROLLER ASSEMBLY IS FOR YOU

 PHEEBS AND I TOOK SCOOTER FOR A TOOTER INTO BAYFIELD AND BACK

In my Thursday post, I may have misidentified a Rufous-sided Towhee as an Eastern Towhee.  Len S. in an email corrected me on that.  I have since fixed my mistake.  The Grackles still dominate our front yard but I am seeing more and more songbirds showing up.  One pair of Cardinals have stayed as well as a few Blue Jays and a pair of Mourning Doves.  Nuthatches are still here as well as a few Black Cap Chickadees.  Most of the Juncos have left.  A number of Red Wing Blackbirds at the feeders too.

Kelly called this afternoon and her Mom is doing reasonably well but is going to need someone there with her for an extended period of time.  Kelly will be busy keeping things organized with coming and going therapists and upcoming Doctor's appointments, etc.  I think Kelly got there to help her Mother just at the right time.
