When the Red Red Robin ...

....comes bob bob bobbin' along.....I'm just a kid again!....So happy to see that first robin..the sign that spring has arrived.

It may have been a sunny day but it was darned cold...I tried to sit out in the back yard, but the wind was so bitterly cold that I gave up on that! This little robin appeared just as the sun as going down and I was able to rush out and grab a quick pix for my blip of the day. The long-awaited arrival of a robin - here at last....

I spent the day chatting with my neighbour/gardener about this year's plans for the yard and also going through old photo albums removing the photos and tossing out the binders to save space on my shelving units.I came across a photo that made me chuckle...it was taken back in my teaching days - the day that I showed up at school wearing the exact same outfit as my vice-principal....like how often does that happen? The downside of off-the-rack shopping in a small town! (extra) 

PS: The robin is officially called an "American Robin". Any chance we can re-name it?
