This week I finally saw the bird that means spring is here. In this area, it's the scissortail flycatcher. We NEVER see them until the last frost is gone and spring is really here. Beautiful birds, great fun to watch...and the state bird of Oklahoma, as you may have noticed if you've seen the new OK quarter.

What a gorgeous bird!!!

I just commented that I've been seeing a lot of fat robins around lately!
Spring must finally be on the way!!! That doesn't mean that the last frost has come though. I don't plant any annuals until Memorial Day weekend (maybe the weekend before, if the weather has been real warm!) because I've been unlucky too many times!
