Signs of Spring



Spring is my favorite time of year. I love that day when I walk outside and I can just smell it. Spring is coming. It seems like everything around is waking up after a long winters nap. You start to see the beautiful Crocus appear. I notice the birds and butterflies begin to appear. I can feel the sun on my shoulder.

I am watching for the signs of spring.

I have a feeling it will be here before we know it.

Silver Coral Giant Crocus 15 Bulbs-White & Purple!

Silver Coral Giant Crocus 15 Bulbs-White & Purple!



"Crocus plants are relatively small, reaching just 3-6 inches in height (depending on the variety). The leaves are grass-like, generally with a light stripe running up the middle. Many of the spring-flowering crocus bulbs are among the earliest bloomers. The blooms pucker up at night and re-open in the morning.

Colorful Crocus--the first sign of spring! Use them in borders or edging; in groups of a dozen or hundreds and thousands for naturalizing; in the grass, woodlands, slopes, under trees." ~Amazon.com

Cherry Blossoms in Washington DC

You've probably heard of the Cherry Blossom Trees in Washington DC. They begin to bloom in the spring and people love to travel to Washington DC to see them during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival.

Where did they all come from? Back in 1912 Japan gave us 3000 cherry trees as a gift.

These Cherry Blossom Trees signify that Spring is coming.

"Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn. " ~Quoted by Lewis Grizzard in Kathy Sue Loudermilk, I Love You

Another sure sign that Spring is coming - The Sun

The sun is closer to us in the spring and you can begin to feel the warmth that it gives us. Plus, the days begin to get longer.

Spring is...

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." ~Charles Dickens
