almost thinking about spring

 ok, at least were starting to think about spring here ... the ducks came back to the pond on thursday, but after a cold but sunny friday, it snowed again last night, and its in the 20s again today.  the ducks are frozen out of the pond until it warms up again.  its pleasant today, but not like wednesday, when it hit almost 50 and the sky was that incredible blue.  springtime in vermont is something of a tease.  back and forth, forth and back, and on and on for a few weeks.  we should have crocuses in a week or two, but youd never know it today.  click the photos to enlarge them ...





 
weve had daffodils from the store on the counter for a couple weeks and they are always welcome.
 but the back yard and the mountains are looking like winter still
 and then youve got the black and white days like this one last week, where the only color in the picture is the stop sign ...
no color at all here
 but the barred owls are calling ... nesting time for them soon , and even though the pheobes wont be back for a few weeks,we cleared their  nest off the cornice return this week ... 
 yeah, its as soft as it looks ... a work of natural art weaving for sure
theres wood to stack.  im outta here ...
