Our next door neighbour, whom I still have not met, was out in his flying wing today.
Our smaller neighbours were out too.

Spring Weather in March
There were record breaking temperatures here today. My thermometer said + 17°C (63°F). Our "lawn" is a wet mess.

Changes
Getting ready for a major art course as well as the art show for the last course. Blogs may slow to a trickle and then stop for a while.
Meanwhile, we frightened up the first American Woodcock of the season on Friday and on Saturday I heard the first Killdeers of the season and, I think, heard some Tundra Swans high overhead. I am not positive about the swans as I never did find them with my binoculars but I was 95 percent sure of the sounds.
Snowdrops are coming up in my flower garden and tulips are poking up in various places. I doubt that the snow is gone for good but it sure is great to see a bit of green here and there.

Red Wings
The Red-winged Blackbirds have returned from the souther migration range to our area. They arrived yesterday, March 9th and were in full song this morning. Because the sky was so dark with clouds and drizzle my photo is not very good but I was so pleased to see the Red-wings back from the south that I wanted to post this photo anyway.

Chosen
Between the two of us, Églantine and Ontario Wanderer have had five paintings chosen to be displayed at Hamilton, Ontario's "you me gallery" between March 17 and 26. We were part of an Enhanced Studio class at the Dundas Valley School of Art and the show is a partial display of works by the twelve participants. The class was led by V. Jane Gordon and participants worked on indvividual projects.
All of the works in the gallery show will be on an "art-in-canada" web site after the show. I will post the address at that time.

Tracks
Having left many tracks on Sunday, I though I would post some other tracks today.
I am sure that these are raccoon tracks and they are near sunflower seed shells as the racoon was attempting to steal from my birdfeeder again. It was unsucessful this time.
By size and shape and toe drag, I am assuming these are crow tracks. I am open to corrections if anyone knows better than I.
I am calling this one "Sun Tracks" as it is left behind the setting sun.
