WOODYNOOK CREATIONS

It's Monday

We woke up this morning to rain and a quite humid  day. It remained this way till right afternoon when the sun came out and was a glorious rest of the day. No fire in the wood stove needed tonight. This male Goldfinch doesn't seem to mind the rain.
Took a ride this afternoon, and I spotted some Cowslip growing along side a small stream. Spring is here for sure.
As promised, here is a picture of the "peeps". They are growing like weeds, and will be moving into their new digs in about 2 weeks. They are so funny to watch, and are now testing their wings. It's difficult to get good pictures of them as they seem to be on the move all the time. No longer are they little balls of yellow fluff. Now they are getting the red color they are noted for.
The weather forecast for us tomorrow is high winds, and temps in the 80"s. A cold front moving through later, and that makes me nervous. A perfect tornado recipe!

Monday and it has rained on and off all day. Really coming down now - I'm all tucked in and ready for lights out listening to it come down.
