Woods) It looks like spring! It feels like spring! But, is it REALLY spring? All signs point to it. Housecleaning has already begun at “The Hut”. “Mr,” started at the bird houses last week. He took a pole, which was fastened to a fence post, clean out and adjust the roof of a feathered friend’s dwelling .a-top it. < There was still a little sno/w left in that shady spot, and when he put it up again, he spied two nice large dew worms crawling around on the snow. So he brought the two beauties, ■ in his cupped hands, in for Lucy to see. After .she.-had duly admired them, they were housed in warmer quarters — in with their kin in- the basement — to await the fishing season. What a feast of fresh meat.the birds missed that day! The cardinals have been whistling their mating call, loud iand clear for' some time. Mrs. J. E. Howard heard the first one during the mild week in February. The killdeer were reported recently and the homed lark. But still there were flocks of snow buntings observed in the country. Robins were reported quite early, but on the other hand some have been known to- winter here. Also some crows! One -which seems to stay about since first sighted February 5, on top of one of the spruce trees, is thought to be the pet crow of former years. One day this -winter, "Mr.” was observing the feeding station. He saw two small birds, a junco and a red-breasted nut hatch, having a violent argument. They were at the en­ trance ^and jumping at each other like, two flighting cocks (perhaps they were cock birds). The flight suddenly Stopped and they ignored each other, going in quietly to feed. How nice it would be if world squabbles, parliamentary scandials, etc., could be resolved over a meal or a, nice cup of • tea, insitead of generally upsetting the countries or nation involved. Perhaps there should- be a spring house-cleaning in our Federal' Parliament, but who' wants to see so-called “ditty linen” washed in public, or have reviewed all the skeletons in cupboards back to the Fathers of Confederation? The snowdrops are out in quantities; Lucy’s spouse . brought in a pot full of these tiny flowers on March 12. He had to crawl under a shrub back of the hedge to get them, ' but they were -worth it. Lucy views the big fat pussy willows from her chair and watches the birds at ' the suet feeder — >and the*black squirrels. “Ma?.” was quite provoked recently because a bag of sun­ flower seed reposing in the wheelbarrow in the driveshed had been tom open. Something had Upset the little wheelbarrow' and scattered the seed on the dint floor. He. gathered up as •much as he could, then scattered it under the willow tree for the birds. ■’ The birds have been joined by the black squirrels in search of the tasty seeds. (Ahd as Lucy writes two sterlings are struggling for possession of a bacon wind pulled from the suet feeder)* The next day, when Carl went to the shed, he spied ’coon tracks all over the freshly swept floor, There must be one bag old raccoon there flor the foot marks are about the size of -a bear's — at least that is what he reports! Sb the ’coons are out looking for food! Lucy hopes they don’t locate in the barn* And another animal which has not been scented at “The Huit” for some years is 4 skunk. Twice oh a mild foggy night Lucy HaS had a Strong (vhiff of “Essence of violets” as a liittld black and White animal ambled past the open Window, Sap is running! And one morning at day break, Huey heard the sparrows chirping. So many signs, coupled with the mild Weather, point to an early spiting, Officially it arrived' on Sunday. But before you start cutting potatoes for early planting, folks, just remember two adages: “A winter’s fog Will freeze a dog” and “If March comes in like a lathb it Will go Out like a lion” and visa versa. Carl recalls' going to Clinton Spring Fair one year with the heavy Sleigh'and team of horses. It was the first Thursday •in April. Bob Trick was walking and the Diehls picked him up and gave him. a i4.de to Clinton. He also recalls that over thirty years ago, his oar Was stuck in a snowbank, and after getting out of that, later on the same trip, the radiator froze, That Was one night in the last Week of April. The March Lion could easily frolic again in April, BRING 'EM ALL IN! We can fix anything made of leather — purses, cases, bags, anything. Bring ’em all in. RAY'S SHOE REPAIR Js|ext to Red &.
