Robins form Posse, "We're Gonna Lynch That Groundhog"

We have a whole flock of ROBINS in our yard! This is Illinois where there’s almost 2 feet of snow on the ground and the temperatures are in the teens! I don’t think I ever remember robins coming back this early (in February), especially with it still being so cold.

Hmmmm. Maybe they know something we don’t!

The interesting thing too is, when they do come in the spring, usually there’s a few of them. I don’t remember ever seeing so many at once like this; there were about 30 or 40 of them out there.

Editors Note:  Maybe the Groundhog fooled the Robins too? 

Is anyone else seeing signs of an Early Spring??? Or is the Groundhog wrong again?
Post YOUR signs of Spring, WE'D sure like to see some!

Strange Patterns in the Snow

Upon waking up on Sunday, Jan 9, 2011, my hubby and I looked out our living room window only to notice very strange patterns in the front lawn’s snow-coverd ground. (See Pics) They were around 6 to 8 inches high and ran in a curvy pattern across the snow, where, mind you no underground gas, water, electric, nor any underground sprinkler system, nor underground dog fence are located there, plus there are no overhead lines or trees of any kind, either.
After much chatter, fun conclusions or debate within a forum about what could have created these strange patterns, we are pretty much sticking to the theory that perhaps a small twig, a cardboard box, or a bag with something heavy in it blew across our lawn leaving these unusual markings on the snow top. Notice there are places where the snow indents, and places where it seems also to rise up, also notice many of the markings are very similar in shape. We have no actual proof as to what happened, but in a Bonanza Forum people guessed everything from Alien writings to Angel messages to mole markings, I suppose we’ll never know, as today it snowed last night, and those same markings are very slightly visible now. So, what do you, the reader think they are? Well, dear reader, I end on a note that’s a quote from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: “Curiouser and Curiouser!”
