Signs of Spring by Gerri Brousseau

Hi All.  I'm so happy.  Why, you ask … because today I saw a robin. Here in the cold hills of Connecticut, these little red breasted birds do not spend their winters, but fly instead to warmer climates and return to us in the spring.  Now, I realize it's only the early days of March and we are probably in for at least one more snow storm, but I have to say my heart jumped with delight upon spying this little bird.  The signs of spring are all around us here as the daffodils are also about 3″ high and will soon be sprouting their bright yellow flowers.  I yearn for the days I know are coming when I can sit out on the deck and write.   Even though we have not had a severe winter this year, the warmer temperatures are coming and with that the urge to get outside and do some gardening.  As some of my readers know, I do enjoy gardening and even though I live in a condo, I have a vegetable garden planted in pots on my deck.  I'm already dreaming of tasting those lush and delicious fresh tomatoes.  I guess I'm suffering from cabin fever and just want to get out in the sunshine.  Maybe if these warmer temperatures stick around I'll wash my car! Oh man … if I do that, it will snow for sure!

Are any of you doing anything special to celebrate the coming of spring? Have you noticed flowers sprouting and robins hopping along on your lawns?
