Early at the mouse-house






















The sun is now shining this morning but yesterday the sun in my life was spending time with little Gwynn and baby brother, Angus. In order to give mom some time alone with the wee one, we scooped up Gwynn and went out for pancakes, shopped in an antique shop (which she loved) and then headed to a bird store to admire all the new spring bird-houses.
The antique shop had an old piano that she was allowed to belt out a song on so she was in heaven.

And she found an old toy Volvo (she's a car gal) and a few good old Golden books to add to her collection. Nana also found her a straw Easter chick that she immediately named Charlie.
She went home happy and tired.

It was very active at the Branch Cafe this morning. We had new visitors at the feeders.
A flock of red-winged black-birds arrived around 7 a.m.
I've been hoping to see them this Spring.

Yes, we still have that much snow.
They enjoyed the sunflower seeds on the ground, though.

So, another sign that Spring is not far off.
