Signs of Spring


You don't have to look too hard to find the many signs of spring outside. The robins are busy singing, there are hints of green in the grass, the crocus are in bloom, and everyone just wants to be outside. Old man winter though is having a hard time accepting this and is sending a big ol' snow storm our way. Hopefully this will be the last time we see snow until next winter. At least we know the snow won't last long, but I still don't want to see it. We are getting the itch to start some yard work and get the gardens all cleaned up.




We found some pussywillows the other day, another telltale sign of spring. I will always remember Grandma and Grandpa Ooton always pointing out the pussywillows in the spring. The pussywillows and the turning yellow of the goldfinches inspired me to do a little painting. Spring energy is in air.
