While I am confused about so many things related with nature, I still love most of its creatures. I was used to seeing the robins returning to my front yard around March, but now I see them every morning. Is possible that they decided to stay here because they were confused about our “warm” winter?
I love to read your writings. It is very peaceful to me. I even understand your love of snow. It makes me feel better to know there is a reason for everything. Can you come up with A GOOD REASON for MUD!!!!!
