Signs of Spring At Last

We’ve had a freaky winter. On most days it felt like spring rather than winter, but with all the plant life in hibernation, not having the snow we’re used to this year, made winter extra drab and boring.

Now we’re having a week of weather we normally see in May rather than March, with temps in the 70′s. If it would stay that way throughout the summer, I’d be one happy camper. Here’s hoping it doesn’t mean extremely hot and humid trend for the summer, because that would mean endless bad hair days.

But with the even warmer-than-normal weather, finally we’re seeing some signs of life to alleviate the drabness:

Oh yeah. I’m ready for more color. Bring on the spring. Are you ready for spring, or has it already sprung in your neighborhood?

1 Xmasdolly March 14, 2012 at 12:06 am: The only Spring I’ve seen is kids playing soccer, kids at the playgrounds, more mothers walking their babies, and me walking my fat dog. I have a park across the street from me so it’s really cool to hear everything going on from kids yelling and whistles blowing. No baseball games yet, but soon. I even saw two people playing tennis today. Ohhhhhhhhh I remember when, but for now I’m walking here… walking…. and walking… walking and more walking.

Happy WW!

Thanks for sharing!

34 BZMomma March 15, 2012 at 9:47 am: This winter was “mild”, to say the least…and I, too, fear summer.

Isn’t refreshing to see that pop of color? I’m still tryin’ to find it around us, but I’m sure I’ll find it soon enough.

Thanks for stoppin’ by…off to exchange my kicks for a bigger size today!
