It may still be cold but that is when you can really see the light coming back. I've been watching nest cams of eagles nesting in the US and they are laying their eggs in nests covered with snow showing that light rather than heat indicates spring to them.<br />thousandflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577151568516965587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-61476752872925032292014-03-03T08:52:36.381-08:002014-03-03T08:52:36.381-08:00Here in the wet, mild, southern winter we have had...Here in the wet, mild, southern winter we have had flies and gnats around all winter!<br />Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-41798486215837054042014-03-03T08:08:04.982-08:002014-03-03T08:08:04.982-08:00Our last frost date is supposed to be March 10.

I fear for them with last night's freeze and tonight's precipitation. And I live below the Snow Belt!

The weather has been so erratic - one day it looks, feels and sounds like Spring and the next we are plunged back into cold, wet and windy. However, as we haven't really had Winter yet I wonder just when Spring will arrive. It will be most welcome when it does.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-82836293493253594262014-03-03T03:23:05.092-08:002014-03-03T03:23:05.092-08:00This is so thrilling - what a delight.
