More signs of spring!

The phoebe has resumed building her nest on the back of the garage after a pause for a few days of cold weather.  Both of the pair work hard to dig up mud, moss and grasses to make a beautiful nest in no time at all.  They come annually, but will not use an old nest. The front and back of the house are favoured spots.

The first of Jim's daffodils are almost ready to open, and the primulas are in bloom.

I apologize for the gap in news, but I traveled to Buffalo, New York, for four days to attend a clogging workshop.  There were hundred of participants from all over, and it was a very busy time.  We had six rooms in the convention area where 1-hour dance lessons ran continuously from 9 am to 5 pm for Friday and Saturday.  This was the main dance hall at the end of the day, when everyone was tired, and attendance was down, but the room could handle about 150 people on the floor at one time,

Naturally, there had to be retail therapy, and the open venue was filled with vendors of shoes, T-shirts, and other clogging necessities.

Yesterday was the end of a 700 km round trip, and 12 one-hour dance lessons, so this little piggy went to bed quite early last night.  Lots of things are happening this week--stay tuned!
