The Robins are BACK!

Spring is just around the corner here in East Texas! YEA!  Altho I must admit we might get another cold snap before it's all over with.  It was in the 70's here late this afternoon.  So nice, so me and my camera and Gypsy went for a stroll around the farm, well, part of it anyway.  Robins were everywhere- swarming up in the hackberry tree - picking the little tiny berries and chasing each other away from their branch.  They're pretty territorial about food I guess.

Had to go to pay the water bill today and I ran across the photos below on the way - just down the road from us.  The sun didn't come out til about 3:00 this afternoon - it was still a little cloudy...

Below, my plum tree is coming out.  Think I may have already showed you that one last post.

And I USED to have a lovely real wicker settee on the front porch that I loved to go out and sit on.  You see who has taken over that settee, don't you?  No point in trying to keep Gypsy off of it.  She's claimed it and it's hers now.  I think when it gets warm, she'll be laying out in the grass or dirt.  But for now, she perches on the settee and stays there all night keeping a watch on our place.  She is a good watch dog and barks to alert us to human or varmint.  So I guess that's a good trade-off for her using my settee.  Ya think?

Keep yer dress down...
