It's been a pretty wussy winter - days of above average temperatures and not much snow. So it's not like last year - yearning for the endless days of cold and snow to be gone. But there is always that anticipation of the first signs of spring showing that winter is almost over and Saturday I saw one - a crow holding a stick in its talons as it flew. Now this might not seem like much - a bird with a stick, but that means crows are starting to build their nests. Native Americans watched for this sign as a way to know it was time to start maple syruping. I watch for crows carrying sticks because it gives me hope of the thrill of warm days and bird songs - SPRING!
