Trying to get out every day and do clean up in the planting beds.
Found this nest, most likely a white crowned sparrow.
It was built about a foot and a half off the ground in a large sage plant.
(In trying to figure out what kind of nest this is,
I discovered that white and golden-crowned sparrows are not true sparrows.
They are buntings.)

Daffodils and other spring flowers are beginning to push through the dirt.
I am anxious to get peas, spinach, other early vegetables in the ground.
Perhaps this next week.
Although, woke up this morning to a lot of snow in the surrounding foothills.
I just hope it stays up high, and lets this little valley get on with spring.
