I’ve got a big question
To ask from the heart,
Why a big snow
On the last day of March?
I’ll admit that it’s pretty
In a pre-Christmas way,
But I’m told even Santa
Is feeling dismayed
The poor little robins
Flew all the way back
With a promise of sunshine
And flowers and snacks
But everything’s shivering
From buds on the trees
To dogs and small children
All up to their knees
What kind of tomfoolery,
Tell me, what trick?
April Fools’ is tomorrow,
To rules we must stick
So, dear Mother Nature
My homeland implores,
Please bring back our springtime
And faith you’ll restore

Was refilling my hummingbird feeder when the weather turned from warm/hot to very cold and I can’t imagine the stress of the birds trying to figure out where they are or where they should be….

I agree. My family had their first robin sightings this week while I was visiting. These sweet, little birds return to Ontario, Canada every spring, and when freak snowstorms happen, I always feel sorry for them. Thankfully, the snow won’t last long this time of year.
