It's a sign

Well, there are definite signs of spring now! A tinge of green in the grass and the moss around the base of the trees turning nice bright yellowish green.





Today I hung up birdhouses in the back yard. I got them from a local craft fair birdhouse maker. Nice cedar houses. Most have a larger hole for bluebirds and the like and one has a small hole for the wrens only. I got them on the trees and then about 10 minutes later went to take a picture for the blog. I was surprised to see that I already had tenants. While I stood in the yard I saw Chickadees go in and out of every one of the houses. They even fussed around by the wren house, but they are too big to fit in.

This morning I cracked open the sliding door to the deck about 4 inches. I turned my back and Barley was quickly up to her usual tricks. She had squeezed out and was between the door and the screen. Planning her escape no doubt!
