March! Yeah baby!
Spring is around the corner! While it seems that Mother Nature has been going a bit, well, berserk lately, the great bird migration has begun, hinting at the turn in the seasons yet to come.
In our corner of the world, the winter has been relatively precipitation-free, so we are happy to have this last blast of winter, which swooped down on us this past week. Some like to grumble, but we've been given decent temperatures for the short time given for us to play in the snow!
However, it must be noted that spring flowers have been found already in bloom - snowdrops specifically, although crocuses are ready to blossom and daffodils are stretching up their long necks in preparation to burst forth in all their yellow glory!
