I was at the kitchen sink the other day, doing dishes, looking outside to our backyard, dreaming it was summer, when I saw a ROBIN! I called my husband into the kitchen, for a witness to the fact mostly, and he agreed! It was a robin! Since that first sighting, we've seen him a couple of times out in the backyard. It just has to be a sign of an early spring! If the robins didn't even go south for the winter, they must have felt that it was going to be a very short winter and not worth their time to fly clear down there! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
