Ohhhhhhhhh, lucky you! I long to see the robins! I can't wait for spring. For about 28 years we've had a family tradition...the first person to see a robin in the spring gets a pie of his/her choice. Depending on the year, robins will start to come back to central Illinos in mid-March to early April. I've seen Canadian geese headed north in the past few weeks, a sign that winter is waning. I'm also anxious for the snow to melt, as I start to check everyday for crocus to peep out through the slush and mud. I love spring.
