Yippe is't finally getting warm, I'm soooo happy!!!!  My hands and feet and nose have been cold for months now. I would love to run outside without putting on sooo many layers :/
  I haven't had even one little peep from my flowers yet, I thought for sure they would have been sticking their little heads up by now. I will have more sun out behind our place this year because a HUGE tree was cut down this winter right beside us, so maybe I can have more flowers this year!
  The chickens are ready for some green stuff too.
The birds must have come out of winter hungry, because they are emptying the bird feeders daily now, there was even a crow out there the other day and he took my suet and flew off with it!!  I found some venison  suet that we had put in the freezer a couple years ago and we melted it down and mixed some seeds in it and made some homemade suit cakes. The birds dove right in.  It may be more cost effective to buy them because it took 2 hours to melt it all down on the stove, but it was fun making them.
