On February 2nd this year, Phil (of Punxsutawney) said we would have a much longer winter season. So, you can understand that when I saw these harbingers of spring hoping around our front yard, I was quite upset that they were dissing my rodent friends. Now, I am not completely biased against birds in general, but I also can’t say I am a big fan of these feathery fiends.
In case you can’t make out what I am growling at, it is a robin – the state bird of Michigan and the proverbial sign of spring (“spring is here I know, I know. The redbreast robin told me so.”).
Now, to be clear, I am not opposed to spring coming, but come on folks. Respect the hog!

We are having springlike weather here, too, but it’s supposed to get down to 14 degrees Tuesday morning. Poor daffodils? Fingers crossed.
