Robins on Groundhog Day

It was 64 degrees on Christmas this year. A few days before Christmas I saw robins. They usually fly south in October. Today I saw flocks of robins. It was 53 degrees. We really haven't had any snow to speak of this winter in this part of western MA. I was just wearing a fleece jacket today, with the sleeves pushed up. It was like spring outside. I don't know whether to call this a mild winter or a very early spring; one that started immediately after autumn! I kind of miss the snow on one hand, but like the nice weather on the other. Certainly am not missing slush, road salt and going through gallons of windshield washer fluid in order to see through filthy car windows!

Robins on Groundhog Day- how weird is that? (And yes, I suppose they saw their shadows since it was sunny...so six more weeks of sunshine before the real spring waltzes in with who knows what in store for us!!
