I am told Spring arrived yesterday. Today I saw three people trailering boats. Hum, I still have snow in my front ditch but since they say it is here, here are some ideas for how to spend the first week of spring.

• Get outside! Look around. Are worms and grubs reappearing?
• Watch the arc of the Sun across the sky as it shifts toward the north. Birds are migrating northward, along with the path of the Sun.
• Are you noticing that the days are getting longer? Did you know that the increasing sunlight inspires birds to sing? Cool, eh?
• Are daffodils poking up their heads? Trees, shrubs, and flowers are sensitive to temperature and day length, too!
• Can you feel the Sun getting stronger? The longer days bring high temperatures. Both we and the animals around us discard our warm clothes and heavy coats!
• Do you plan to garden? The first day of spring is a traditional day to start in the garden!
• Are you craving fresh foods after a long winter?
• Are you ready to sit outside and enjoy a brew? Maybe in FL but high here tomorrow is only 52°

 

Spring was here today. Top down in the Honda. Went looking for some ospreys, but none nesting, however one flew over. The crocus are up, and the honeybees are buzzing.
Signs of springs, however March is pretty iffy here in MA.

 

It was in the low 50's today so I washed the Ridgeline this afternoon. Just in time for it to rain like crazy in the next two days.

 

The dogs are hopeful!

 

The arrival of birds was very evident about 7-10 days ago , they descended on our neighbourhood like crazy scavenging the soil for food. Our cat is much more active at the windows now too, coincidence ?

 

I thought spring was here too until I looked at the forecast for this weekend into next week.

 

I remember getting snow storms deep into April some years, it is odd but it can happen.

 

That is why I haven’t got the S out yet….that and there is still tons of salt on the local roads!

 

Same here. Tons of salt on the road and more snow coming.

 

Warm and sunny in Naples for the time we have been here. Back to Delaware next Friday in hopes that April will be a good month.
