The storks weren't back yet from their winter homes when I was in Poland, but I did manage to acquire a couple for my mantle anyway. To me, storks are spring, and the one thing that reminds me most of Poland.
I borrowed this picture from Wikipidia.
I forced some early signs of spring at home:

And what's more spring-like than starting seeds? The tomatoes are up, as are marjoram and carnations. Peppers are a no-show to date. I still have to track down my seeds from last year, and I am hoping that I won't have to turn the house upside down to locate them. Don't tell anyone, but I may not be the most organized person in town. 
Here is Sam guarding my March Sweater Madness sweater. Progress has been pitifully slow. Last night I finally finished another ball of ALaFloss Lopi. You'd think that this thing would fly now that I'm working with 80 stitches less. And it's not like the cables are difficult. I know I'm going to like the finished product. I just have to make myself finish the darned thing.

I can't wait til the weather warms up and I can go out and start working on my veggie garden. I've got eight or nine tractor trailer tires to use this year. I think six are going to house tomatoes. (The boss says the rubber will draw the heat well, and I'll get tomatoes early.) There are two or three more that I may use for flowers elsewhere in the yard.
Tires are excellent hot raised beds for peppers or eggplat too...anything that requires the heat.
Loved the springyness, Basia.
Like the kitty guarding the sweater. :)
And the storks are what I was picturing.
Yay Spring! Those storks are so neat.
When I was a little girl in Austria, we had storks and nests just like your picture. But I could never figure out how they brought my baby sister.
