Spring is near!!!

Today is the first sign of Spring is near!!!

While putting out the food, I notice someone flying around. It was hard to see with the sun but someone was very curious about the seeds and tiny peanuts.

It was a common redpoll, we had a visit from one a few years back in winter. But we haven't seen them since . . . UNTIL today. I'm sure half the birds I was seeing were possibility Common Redpoll. I'll review the photos over and share some!

Some of our goldfinches are gaining colors! So we're excited to see that.

Dad heard a Robin! that's where we know that Spring is near/here and he also heard a Red-winged Blackbird.

I'm hoping to catch some more photos tomorrow since I am off and for the next two days after, so who knows what I'll capture for the backyard.

Copper and Coal are starting to enjoy the porch more but are very curious about what it is that we do in the backyard and why we always go out the backdoor.
We will be looking to buy them a harness.

I can't wait to start doing the things that we did with buddy for Copper and Coal, plus I think it will help my dad get into a routine of doing something. The kids don't really relies on him (sometimes they do) but it's different with two younger kids.

With Buddy especially in his old years, he tends to rely on us a lot but that was Buddy way of quality time.

My other spring cleaning is to find Coal's favorite toy, it had disappear last week and it is still not found. I'm hoping to find it on my days off.
