March

My Mum's saying for this month is 'in like a lion and out like a lamb'. I think we're all hoping it will be that way. We didn't end up getting a lot of snow, but for a while there it was coming down like crazy. With all the snow we do get I don't remember every seeing snowflakes that big. They were more the size of snow balls (not as heavy or round lol). I'm glad it wasn't bad. I think things are supposed to ease off for Mum too. I'll hear more tomorrow when we Skype.

The temperature has dropped from earlier in the week but it was a lovely sunny day today.

The pond was almost all defrosted and the reflection was just gorgeous. There were so many birds around - I could hear them calling to one another and singing. It was such a lovely sound.

I finished the cross stitch part of my Bagpuss project. I still have the outlining to do but it shouldn't take long. I really enjoyed stitching this. The only problem was that it was a kit and the threads weren't sorted. It was a little difficult to tell the shades apart. There were about seven different shades of yellow. That being said I love Bagpuss. I remember watching it as a child. It was one of my favourite programmes.

With all the sunshine around the birds were outside at the feeder. Even a couple of squirrels were about. This one made me laugh. It was trying to chase the birds away. I think they got a little too close to the thing it had just buried.
