Good signs of spring

[PaulN/KS]

Spotted a bluebird in the yard yesterday and the swallows might be back too so guess Spring is here.

Cool......A lot of the usual suspects are here too but I'm afraid were going backwards again for a week again.Another 6 to 7 inches of snow to the north of me.

[Swampman]

A couple of hours ago my back yard was covered in robins frantically looking for food in the snow covered landscape.  I will take that as a good sign of things to come. 

Now the snow is coming down real hard though.  Hopefully this is it though.

Same here, Swampman. That's how we know it is spring...IT SNOWS.  Around here winter is for cold, spring is for snow. That way you suffer longer and are more pure of heart.

Well this is a sure sign of spring in my book. Dragging the driveway with the snowblower still on. Still snow and puddles on the north side of barn but the main driveway is coming around.

Well, since I took off the back blade and put on the brush hog I guess it is Spring.  Heck, even had the mower out this afternoon.
Still haven't tilled up the garden tho, I ain't THAT optimistic...

Think it's time to take the chains off the tractor yet???

The pelicans are back in droves on the red River,here in southern Manitoba.

Ed I'm thinking this week I'll it's might be safe to in hook the snowblower and store it away. Not saying we're done for sure with snow but usually it goes away fast enough now I don't blow it anyway. Let hope so anyway.

Still have snow everywhere here with over a foot on the ground in some places.  At least we are getting warmish weather

Here's my snow mover being used some years ago.A 1966 1850 diesel Oliver.I've had this tractor for 38 years.Still have it.Used to be my practically everything tractor till retiring.Field work and harvest work that is.Some years there's more snow to move than others.This paticular year we got more than our fair share.
I just mowed the yard here for the first time today.Soon the garden will go in all the way.We've got radishes planted for now.The sap will flow good soon and a hickory or two will get it's bark popped off.

That's an awesome tractor Ed. Wish I had me one of those.

In my experience, there no more sure sign of spring than finding the first couple Morels of the year. Found these two little guys on Saturday...

Pelicans on the red.

[BowEd]

Those pelicans stay there or do they move on?

[bushboy]

I think some move on,but there are pelicans around all summer were I live.
