more birdies. Buds on early flowering plants are starting to swell and show some color and sure sign as I was able to prime some plugs outdoors today as I have a little micro climate up against the house.

go to the herb store and buy bulk cayenne pepper
because you have to add more sprinkles of it
after each rain storm....
once they get HOT mouth
they will leave it alone.... |

I think its spring. we'll still get sme cold and possibly snowey days but we are on the downside now. Once all the snow melts , the sunlite is absorbed as heat instead of reflected. To me , that';s when spring happens.

Been one active in my stone wall near house all winter. On warm days he has come out and sits there eating stored acorns and pissing off my cat.

one thing about chipmunks
they love to piss off cats
they enjoy the thrill of the chase
like nothing else

grubs
flocks of starlings will dig up all the lawn grubs
as soon as the soil is thawed out
and it's better than using pesticides

I hope they feast on it.The less lawn to cut the better for me.I pay for water so obviously I'm not watering the damn lawn.
On a side note.Yesterday while road testing a tractor down the highway I got to a ramp and I slowed way down.There was this big hawk gliding in the ditch to my right .He landed in a tree in close view to me and gave me the nod.So I think spring is here.Saltheart has it right with the heat absorption theory meaning it's on it's way.I couldn't have explained it better myself.I am sick of the white stuff.
