Could it be true????????

Man!!!! Could this be true? Looking out the window at 9 robins. That is supposed to be the sign of spring up in these parts. I don't ever remember seeing them this early. As much as I like burning coal, I like spring even better! This must be the global warming that we've been talking about. Or maybe it's so cold in Florida, all the Snowbirds are up here early because it's warmer

The robins were probably hideing in the groundhog's burrow, he chased them out when he saw his shadow. He said 6 more weeks and I will take his word on that.

Yep,spring is nice & Fla. don't have season change--about the Robins--I can only hope they're not getting as dumb as the fanatics----no Robins over here yet,but,I've seen them get snowed in before--they may be listening to Gore---dumd birds

Ah, the American Robin TURDIS MIGRATORIS, probably strapped for cash, may not have gone so far south this year...
They will have to do some serious excavating to find their favorite fare..earthworms...

If they're strapped for cash,NYS is the wrong place to be--of course where isn't--I don't know,I kicked over an old block of wood this AM plowing down to the barn & there were worms under there--I flopped it back,they started to look chilly

Just five minutes ago I said to my wife "You sure'd have a hard time convincing me that it's not Springtime". The snow is almost gone, it's 42*, sunny, breezy & the grass has that brown Springtime look. Sure wouldn't hurt my feelings if it stayed like this, then warmed up!

Blasphemy Freddy !!!!!! How dare you utter those words ....... I'm scheduled to come up to West Forks Mar 3-8 for our annual snowmobiling trip. I know the snow is scarce up there right now. But I think you had better enjoy this weekend because from what I see and heard, things are going to get white again this week. In fact if these next storms come the way the cold crowd wants them to, you might need a yardstick to measure the amounts. Of course if you want, just point your fans toward the west and have all of that snow dumped over there and I'll be happy.

Freddy might see grass, but I sure don't. Got about 1' on my lawn. There's usually at least 3' this time of year. The sled trails are looking pretty rough. They only groom the trails when it falls below 25*. That hasn't happened in a few days. Was watching the sleds go by behind the house tonight. VERY bumpy!

OK Rick.... Calm down.... I'll order up a nice fresh snow for your upcoming trip. We gotta keep the tourists happy! *smile*

No offense meant but, YOU GUYS CAN KEEP YOUR SNOW! I am walking out the back door to make a round of the outer limits in my sneakers Maybe I can get a batch of sweet corn before June this year

I'm with you Scott, please plant an extra couple ears for me!

You must be smokin' something other than 'tassles' if you think you will get corn by Independence Day! We saw Robins here two weeks ago also, so I called the NASA and asked them to aim the shuttle exhaust due south next launch; the last launch blew all the Robins north a few weeks early. They advised that some experimental 'heavier than air vehicle' was being tested near Malta, NY; however they claimed no knowledge of the source. RIGHT! We all know that "Stroker Stoker ACE" is up to his old tricks. Must be the UAE fuel he is testing! We all know he has been working with "Little Vein" for nearly a lifetime! Perhaps he has 'ganged a bunch of "Chubbies" together for maximum thrust. I'm sure it will make the papers this week, perhaps the satellite trucks are inbound right now!

I must be smokin' something huh I want to try some of what you're hittin'

Still don`t see any grass but I did find part of my driveway yesterday & if the snow melts a bit more I`ll be able to get back on it.
