Signs of Spring

Spring is coming! It’s coming!

I have no idea what was discovered on Groundhogs Day this year, but here are some signs that spring is on its way:

• I sat on the front step and enjoyed the sun. The sun! And didn’t wear any mitts.
• I got to wear a vest the other day.
• I had my bike out.
• I am panicking that ski season is almost over. I’ve hardly been out!
• There is sunshine.
• We changed our clocks an hour ahead.
• I’m booking and planning our annual spring trip to Victoria. That means flowers and green grass!
• While sitting on the front step enjoying the sun, I saw an ant! a moth! a fly! and a beetle! Plus a disgusting amount of mushy dog poop from inconsiderate dog walkers all over the front yard where the snow used to be.
• Easter Creme Eggs.
• Suddenly there is wonderful fruit and vegetables in the grocery store at decent prices–meaning that somewhere in the world it is late summer.
• Muddle puddles.
• My husband shaved off his goatee.
• The cars always need washing.
• And sun.
