Just had the pup out to relieve himself and couldn’t believe the number of worms that were out on the front lawn. I mean hundreds. February 27 th . Never seen this before this early. Seems like the frost was just starting to let go of its hold and today after that rain this afternoon the worms came up for a breath of fresh air… Looks like the groundhog was right on with his prediction….
Well those worms better start retracting, we may be in for a bit of snow later today.
Around here the Red Cardinals and Robins are back and active, mother nature always has things figured out.Quote:

No worms for us here on the east side of lake simcoe was still out on the ice Tuesday fishing whitties on the big lake. The winds did some heavy damage a few pile ups around the lake last night. Woke up to about a foot of snow ground this morning.

Worms are up now ,ground is thawed the lady bugs are out aswell as a few flying insects lol.
What might become an issue with this early weather is the fruit trees and asparagus. Maybe a cold snap at the end of the month with a polar vortex. Maybe get another first ice naw I dout it would get that cold.

There’s open water here on Scugog and the lilac trees around the house are already starting to bud. If we do get a cold snap it could dampen the fruit production this summer. Last year we had a bumper crop…
Spring peepers are singing loud at my place tonight. About a month early. Can hear them inside the house with the windows closed.
This non-winter is real bad news for our trees. I cut firewood last week and was shocked to see large numbers of adult bark beetles still alive under the bark sheets on the dead elm. Usually they are all dead from the cold weather. Ditto for white pine weevil and spruce budworm.
