April?

We were a little spoiled in March with "some" days of warmer temperatures & pretty decent weather.  However, with April's arrival, we we've been greeted with colder than normal temperatures along with snow, ice pellets, the return of the Polar Vortex, icy roads and the words "April may see more snow than December". Wow...

While snow isn't uncommon well in to April or even May, the cold temperatures are somewhat alarming.  As we dreamabout the return of migrating birds, tree blossoms, spring flowers & April showers, these might have to wait a bit. Some of the first birds have returned - various Blackbirds, Tundra Swans, Turkey Vultures, Tree Swallows & more with many favourites still to arrive....and arrive they will!

We all know spring weather will eventually arrive, the blooms & blossoms will open to reveal their glorious colours, the birds will sing more than they are now....we may just have to be a little patient!! We shall see what the rest of April brings!

The pretty birds came out to play following one of the recent April snow "events"!
