Spring

"Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat." 

 -  Laura Ingals Wilder
"My favorite weather is bird chirping weather."  

-  Terri Guillemets

I haven't seen them...but I can hear them.  They are a sure sign spring is here and bugs are near.  The woodpeckers are back, the big ones I can hear inside my house.  Maybe they never leave, they just find other things to eat in the winter, but the sound of them pecking on the trees is a welcome sign of spring.

Other signs of spring?

Green everywhere.

Flip Flops!!

The frogs are having a symphony every night.

Being able to spend time on a boat.

The smell of mulch.

Aching muscles from working too hard in the yard.  (Also a sign of getting old. :)

Earthworms in my landscaping, on the sidewalk after a heavy rain...and on my fishing hook.

The smell of freshly cut grass along with the sound of lawnmowers echoing through the neighborhood.

The back screen door slamming.

 A jacket in the morning...a tee shirt by midday.

Dirt under my nails. (How does that happen even when I wear gardening gloves?)

Going to the store with messy hair because the sunroof and all the windows were open in the car.

I have been enjoying spring and got out early to take some pictures of the new leaves in the morning light.  I use to think sun flares were a bad thing, now I love them and the haze they add to the picture.  I can't wait for more flowers to bloom...and of course to take pictures of them. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and enjoy the weather!
