Spring is here and Mr. Robin comes a courtin'

The other day, a brown bird landed on my balcony. To my surprise, I discovered it was a robin. My first sighting of the year. Today he was back. I head a bang, so he may have flown into my patio door window. Maybe he thought his reflection was another bird invading his territory.

But he perched on the balcony railing long enough for me to get this photo.

Spring has come. The snow is melting, even though we may get freezing rain in the Ottawa Valley tomorrow.

A cardinal sings in a tree outside my front door.

Think on these and other good things. We have a long battle ahead of us.
