The boys are back in town!!!!!!

 My world this morning is a whole lot

 brighter,

cheerier

 and

 merrier...

what a difference a week makes.

 

 A week ago we were in a blanket of white,

this morning the trees are blanketed with fragrant blooms,

and

buzzing with bees...

things are coming to life!

 

Oh, what a beautiful morning!

 

While doing my morning stitching,

  I heard my first wren.

They have returned and soon this little guy

will be busy building several new "homes" for the love of his life. 

 It is usually safe to think

 that spring has arrived to stay,

when these little puff of feathers make their appearance.

 

The outside is so full of noises

 that are songs by my ears,

 this time of year...

This boy was busy drumming on our chimney this morning.

  As startling as this can be,

it's still music to my ears.

Sounds of springtime.

  After several minutes of drumming,

 on the tin flashing around the chimney,

 it was off to enjoy a nut or two...

Isn't he pretty?

 

And

the boys are back in town...

I've filled a couple of feeders with safflower seed just for my boys.

It's their treat of choice...

 

 

 

A trip to the grocery store

 to buy oranges and grape jam

 is on my list of to-do's today.

I've got bird chores to do....

need to get ready

for the arrival of the

Baltimore Orioles. 

They will soon be our guests.

 The boys are back in town...

Spring has finally arrived,

 I think I'll call in sick today!

 

Happy Spring,
Brenda
