Last Thursday morning I saw my first Red-winged Blackbird of the season. It always makes me happy when they come back in the spring; I just love their song. If you have a minute, close your eyes and listen. I'll wait.
There. Don't you feel better? Oh, and if you listen longer than a minute you'll a hear the Sora piping up in the background.
And if you just can't get enough of me? Dianne Salerni is interviewing me over at her blog today where I'll be answering some fun questions and showing off you know what.
Finally, the winners of West of Paradise are:
1. Liza
2. LG
3. Liz
Please email me with your addresses so I can send :)
Will visit!

DeleteSpring is so slow getting here. Haven't seen the redwings yet but I'm watching for my gold finches.
ReplyDeleteWE love the goldfinches - such happy sounding birds!
DeleteThis just made me feel good! What a gorgeous bird.
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty and we love hearing him because it means spring is coming, yeeha!
DeleteThe red-winged blackbird sounds almost as lovely as he looks.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the three Lovely "L" Ladies on their win.
I know, that was kind of funny, huh?
DeleteCongrats to the winners and I enjoyed your interview over at Dianne's blog :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela. It was a fun interview :)
DeleteFeeling a little jealous here - we've still got lots of snow - hoping spring is around that corner! Great interview at Dianne's :)
ReplyDeleteDon't feel too jealous, we're supposed to get snow on Wednesday.
DeleteI'm just about dying for spring.
Does that mean me? I know there are a few Lizs out there...
ReplyDeleteThat's you, girl!
DeleteWow. So cool. Now that I'm back on the internet, I'll get in touch with you...
DeleteThe blackbird is gorgeous! His call reminds me of R2D2 -- I'm weird, right? Running to read your interview at Dianne's! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't he fabulous?
DeleteI've recently made a friend that's into bird watching. I'm beginning to notice them now, but still have no idea which is which. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting to know who's who in the bird world thanks to my son.
