Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

For a short time all the trees were covered with snow.  It was April ninth and we had a “dusting” of snow–an inch or two.  It was not unheard of:  a snow “storm” this late in spring but it definitely was unusual.  The trees did not stay white too long.  I am waiting for the warmer weather to return.  And it will.  The forecast for my birthday less than a week away called for sixty degree weather and clear skies.

The pansies went out into the yard despite the snow storm.  They had to get some sunlight and I promised I would put them in the garage after dusk.  Calling this a snow storm is stretching it a bit.  We are supposed to get, maybe, three inches of snow total in this spring snow storm.  The pansies my wife just bought could tolerate a little cold.  In fact, they don’t like warm temperatures.

I was watching the robin swallow the five inch worm.  The bird could not do it right away.  It took a few tries before it completely swallowed the whole thing.  It was snowing and there was a large bare patch under the pine tree under which it dug up the worm.  Later on I saw another robin foraging under the tree.  They must have a hard time when it snows to do that.  This is another spring snow storm.
