Today is a cold, blustery day in Minnesota. But my day was brightened considerably when I spotted not only my first hummingbird of the season, but a Scarlet Tanager, which are rarely seen around here. Over the weekend the first chipmunk showed up to feast on the cobs of corn I put out for him.And the lilacs are starting to bloom just down the road. I can't wait to go cut lilac blossoms in purple and white so that I can have a heavenly smelling camper for a week or so.
By the way, the term "red letter day" refers to the old custom of marking special church days in the calendar in red. Betcha you didn't know that!
