Spring arriving





Well, it's supposed to be spring, so why do we keep getting cold weather and forecasts of snow showers? Mother Nature must've forgotten to set her alarm!

The robins don't seem to mind too much - they are still hopping around the yard, and I hear all kinds of birdsong in the morning. It SOUNDS like spring, and if you looked outside right now, it LOOKS like spring, because the sun is shining and there's some green. It just doesn't FEEL like spring.

Well, this too shall pass, I suspect.

In panda news, Mei Xiang at the National Zoo went into estrus WAY early, like in January. They artificially inseminated her, but still no news - if she should deliver a cub, though, it would likely be the first one born this year. How cool is that?
