SPRING IS COMING !

Do you wonder how I know? Today while driving I saw a Robin red-breast fly in front of my car. This picture below is not one I took myself. It was taken by a friend of mine who was kind enough to e-mail it to me and did not want her name published so I can't properly give her credit, but please accept my thanks. She knew I needed a sign besides the one I saw flying.

I think it is very exciting to finally see a sign of spring.........it assures me that it will arrive eventually.
Even if they did just put us under another "Weather Alerts
SNOW ADVISORY in effect for :
Allegan, MI Barry, MI Calhoun, MI Clinton, MI Eaton, MI Gratiot, MI Ionia, MI Kalamazoo, MI Kent, MI Mecosta, MI Montcalm, MI Muskegon, MI Newaygo, MI Oceana, MI Ottawa, MI Van Buren, MI" beginning at 4 AM on Fri. and lasting through 4 PM Friday. And beginning tomorrow there are only 21 days left until the official start of Spring. Spring begins 3 days after our Amber turns 13. I can't believe she will be a teen-ager this year. I was at the hospital, in the room, when she was born and it doesn't seem like that many years have elapsed since that day when I first held her in my arms and counted all her fingers and toes! She was our third grand child back then...........now we are expecting number 19. I think I might be getting to old for this baby stuff!!!

In my book, spring starts March 1st! Which means it can't snow anymore after that.
And what I say.... GOES!
LOL

I think the only county not listed on your advisory is mine! But we're supposed to get a couple of inches of snow late tonight/early morning also. Ugh.

Last year we had a terrible storm on March first..white out conditions....wipers keep freezing...hubby had to come to the rescue...poor man he did a lot of that last winter...my tulips are rearing their stems already...and the birds are bountiful...so I really hope spring IS just around the corner...enough winter already..

Meteorological spring starts March 1st according to our weather man. That means tomorrow there shouldn't be anymore snow and it better not. Today makes the 7th week in a row that the kids haven't had school on a Friday. This week and last week they have been off Wed, Thurs, and Fri. and I am going nuts. We had more snow this morning and just a little bit ago we had sleet.

That's a beautiful picture! I wish you springtime cheer. Do you plan on spring cleaning? ;)

Time does fly - doesn't it.

Too old for babies? No way!
Spring IS coming...I'm seeing little signs myself. I'm just crossing my fingers that with it, the tornadoes don't come as well!
