Hints of Spring, Birds in the Olive Trees

A week ago this was all white

     The snow is gone from the olive trees after the 25-year snow storm and the birds have taken over the branches to try out their spring voices.

      The old-time farmers say that the olive trees should be okay. They were covered in snow during the worst freezes, which should have protected them from the worst of it. We'll know for sure when it's time for the fruit to set.

      I just dodged a bee! Is winter really over?
