Signs of Spring...

Mud, mud, mud, and more mud!
Longer days as we now have daylight from 6am to 10pm.
Melting snow uncovering anything that was left on the ground last fall.
Bike rides with my kids down the Old Sterling.
A pair of Sandhill cranes in our yard, letting us know of their presence.
Snowshoe hare in our yard, its winter coat is changing.
The woods have come alive with the songs of many returning birds.
A pair of Mallard ducks on the pond.
Red breasted robins in the trees, singing their songs.
No more snow pants or snow boots.
Now the kids are wearing rubber boots and sweatshirts.
Garden plants started in the windows in the house.
So hard for everyone to stay focused on school.
Eagles soaring overhead, looking for a place to nest.
Jump ropes, baseball mitts and balls, and bikes...

We love spring and the newness of life it brings!
