Day 128: If the level of activity in my yard is a reliable indicator (and I suspect it is), the weather forecast for the latter part of next week is likely to prove accurate. Recently, NOAA has been missing the mark for the nighttime lows, their predictions coming in as much as ten degrees lower than what actually registers. I hope that holds true for Wednesday and Thursday nights when they are claim we will drop to 10-14 degrees. Admittedly, we have had some bitterly cold Februaries historically, although generally not after mid-month. In any event, the Towhees have turned out en masse, a dozen or more hopping about the yard and scrabbling for any scrap of seed or bug they can find. I hope you're wrong about the weather, Mr. Towhee, or we're all going to be hunting extra calories.
