The Robins Know

Yesterday's weather was glorious. Warm sunshine heated up the newly-wet lawns, and my yellow crocus suddenly bloomed.

This morning, however, it was freezing cold again. I had to get out my down coat, my fancy musher's hat, and my scarf - it was that cold. As we walked through the park, I noticed a number of robins flitting around. The cold didn't seem to phase them. When I got home, there were over 100 robins in our yard. They were everywhere.

The robins must agree with Punxatawney Phil that spring is not far away! I hope they are right . . . though if that means a hot summer like last year, I would just as soon wait. Anyway, the robins know something is up.
