Spring days can also mean the return of cloudy, rainy weather. But you can still enjoy nature, even when the raindrops are coming down.
I'll often hear the birds singing up a storm to rival the rain showers, even though they're all safely tucked away in the trees. Why not test your ear by sitting on the balcony or porch and seeing which birds you can identify by their songs alone?

Spring has sprung! The snow is melting and the sun is shining -- at least in most places across the country. The sights, smells and sounds of the changing seasons are all around us.
Some of our staff have started to see robins in their yards, and the geese have been flocking back north in their distinctive patterns. As gardens are uncovered, we can see the delicate green spikes of crocus and snowdrops pushing through the soil.
