The drought has snuck up on us, hasn't it? There just hasn't been any traveling weather for them--warm rainy nights. <BR/><BR/>I do have faith that they can start later if need be, if the rains indeed come. And that they can persist, year-to-year. But it does seem that nature is crueler than usual of late.

The number of white-throated sparrows singing their lovely spring song has been very low. Have you noticed a difference? I'm so used to hearing it in the early spring and miss it!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-48188632929324247182009-03-22T20:08:00.000-04:002009-03-22T20:08:00.000-04:00We just need one heck of a Rain Storm . . . still ...We just need one heck of a Rain Storm . . . still waiting for the big night to happen in my area!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-84648984978621891872009-03-22T19:04:00.000-04:002009-03-22T19:04:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear that your friends have not been hear...Sorry to hear that your friends have not been heard from much yet.

Mother Nature keeps telling us that she is in charge--and we just have to do the best we can to live through all of the changes.<BR/><BR/>Love the Cedar Waxwings.. I saw my first group of them when we were hiking to a waterfall in Tullahoma, TN. I got SO excited.<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well with you.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-64867077524378934782009-03-22T15:00:00.000-04:002009-03-22T15:00:00.000-04:00I want to think it is the Nature of Nature.
