Spring is in the air!

Spring is officially on its way! The red-winged blackbirds arrived back in town sometime Sunday to greet us Monday morning, and on Friday we encountered the first robin. (encountered = narrowly avoided running over -- robin was a bit slow to fly away as our Saturn came along)

Anyhow, the ducks are in heaven with all the mud!

Much less obsessed with their personal grooming than usual,

I (Sarah) couldn't believe what a mess they were! :)

And speaking of birds, we are overflowing in eggs!

Chicken eggs:

Duck eggs:

and GOOSE eggs!

Isn't it humongous?!

So far this week we have gotten two (our first).

Here's another size comparison --

chicken:

duck:

GOOSE!

Makes the expression "goose egg" much more impressive!
