Harbinger Of Spring?

We still have our snow and it is fun, but I did a double take when I saw on my phone that the temperature at 6:30 this morning was 2 degrees!  It did get up to thirty-five today, but I think the schools will be closed again tomorrow since the backroads are still icey.
I saw a large group of Robins that seemed to arrive all at once a few days before the snow came and they were searching in the grass for food but now everything is covered with ice and snow so they are crowding around the birdfeeders as are all the other little birds.

On another note, the Tarheels traveled to Atlanta and beat Georgia tech last night. (Go Heels!) They had a difficult trip and ended up riding MARTA and then walking six blocks to their hotel, arriving at 1:45 am, on the day of the game. That seems very minor, though, compared to what many people went through in Atlanta.

  2. This has been one cold winter. Hopefully your very warm, just like this lovely robin. There were lots at the cemetery the other day and they looked like a bunch of little statues. Then every once in a while they all would move.
