Spring Is In the Air

The ground hog DEFINITELY saw his shadow this year and winter has dragged far too long into spring! My birthday is in March and I love that because, usually, the weather is beginning to warm up a bit. But this year it has continued to be cold and even snowed yesterday--I know we need the water, but I am ready for sun and today we have sun! It is even supposed to reach 60 degrees by mid week! YEA!

I can tell spring is on it's way when the globe willow trees start to bud. If you really pay attention, they are the tree that looks like this, while the other trees still look like this. (Those pictures were taken the same day.) Then before you know it, all the trees look like this. It is easy to go from winter to spring without even knowing it, but pay attention this year...look at the trees now and watch how they turn into spring over the next few weeks. It is amazing!
