Members bzmomo7 Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 You know, I could enjoy spring a whole lot more if it would just quit snowing here in Michigan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerryNumbers Posted March 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 26, 2008 You know, I thought snow was always gone when spring comes upon us, but I now realize that is not true for everyone. Hey, my Crape Myrtles are starting to sprout leaves. Last year we had a late frost and it got all the leaves on my Crape Myrtles, I hope it doesn't do the same thing this year. I might add I cranked up my lawn mower for the 1st time this season and mowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jchahl Posted March 26, 2008 Members Share Posted March 26, 2008 We don't get around to cutting grass until the end of April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted March 26, 2008 Members Share Posted March 26, 2008 I longer the grass can wait to be cut the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerryNumbers Posted March 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 I longer the grass can wait to be cut the better! Right, but you can wait to long, my self propelled mower has a 6 HP engine, several times I had to stop to keep it from choking down because the weeds were so tall. If I had waited any longer it would have took a bush hog and tractor. :uuhm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 :lol: That happened here last year. About the time I was going to cut the grass for the first time we got about a weeks worth of rain. All of that rain and the extra week before I could cut the grass left me with patches of very tall grass that really made the mower work.

The last few years our spring time has been extermly dry, this is the wettest one we have had in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 Our spring last year was pretty dry too...until the week I decided to cut the grass! We might get some rain today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Psalms18_28 Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 I had a mockingbird attacking my own kitty cat. I even had a video of it, it was quite funny. They would fly down to attack her for a brief second, and fly back up... and they will do this repeatedly until she was back inside. I think they were protecting their babies.

Members Sojourner Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yes, I think Spring just might be here........and I think our ski season is about over here, too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 With all of the rain and severe weather across the region, it must be spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Psalms18_28 Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 Does your work have a zoo? I know you do bird watching for a living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alimantado Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 Actually it doesn't and I haven't a clue about looking after animals, except pet cats. I imagine it must be fun working at a zoo. Why do you ask? Also, saying I do birdwatching for a living makes it sound too glamorous. My actual job is in front of a desk all day; it's our volunteers who get to do all the birdwatching. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Psalms18_28 Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 I was curious. Some researchers have zoos. My SIL works for a organization where they accredit zoo. So she get to travels overseas if she have to, and I was going to ask if she been to yours. sorry about sitting at a desk all day :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerryNumbers Posted April 11, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 What I like is the cheerful singing of purple martins when they come to start making their nest each spring. They sure are a jolly bunch. I dislike when they leave in the heat of summer, it seems so quite without their cheerful voices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
