Robins?

As I sat and looked out my window this morning, I witnessed about 30 robins....yes, robins....land in the little tree in my side yard. They don't stand still for long, probably to keep themselves from freezing solid! They fly to the tree, then fly away. Some brave souls actually hop around under the tree, searching the snow for something to eat. I think they are eating the little crab apples. How bizarre, in these, the coldest days of the winter, to see the symbol of Spring that warms my heart so in the long, drawn out days of February or March. Fly away, friends! Come back when Spring is really just around the corner!
