Title: Spring is here!
Post by: CJS3 on February 21, 2010, 08:58:22 AM: When I got up yesterday and went out back to have coffee and watch sun up, I noticed a male Martin on the bird box. This morning, there were two. A male and a female. Here in Texas that's the official start of spring. YeeHa! ;D

I hates you! ;D

The snook are moving around the back water, and the homeless are back:

I think if it FROZE TO DEATH, that is probably a BAD SIGN ::)

FWIW

It may have been Spring in Katy, Texas a couple of days ago, but up here near Waco it's 4" of snow with more to come today. Reminds you of the old saying about waiting 15 min. the weather will change again. I think this makes 4 times we have had snow this season. Can't remember the last time that has happened here in Texas...
