It's been beautiful here too Saundra
I had a lovely time watching Mr Blackbird and very newly-fledged big baby in the garden. He was feeding Baby and showing it where to find bits. I was standing at the open kitchen door and he came right by me He would go back and pop a worm in Baby's ever-open mouth.
Mrs Blackbird flew down to check on them both, had a little chat with Mr B and flew off again, apparently happy

Told ya! Told ya! Told ya! It's opposite weather.
Pleased you finally have some warm weather after such an atrocious winter.

I'm sorry to report though that our winter is predicted to be warmer than usual. Good for us as we have no heating as such.
However, for your sake, I hope there is nothing in my observations of opposite weather as I believe that will mean a mild summer for you.
