Day before yesterday I was out in the garden snipping bits of garlic greens from the newly emerging shoots from last Autumn's planting, and today we have 2 inches of snow on the ground! Ah, Michigan!
Spring has to be coming though right? I mean, we're not skipping it this year are we? One thing is for sure, the migratory birds are making their way back. We've already seen Robins, Blue Birds, Sandhill Cranes, Canada Geese, Woodducks and Mallards. The raccoons are out of hibernation, there are rabbits everywhere and it will only be a matter of time before we start to see babies.
All around the country the seasons change in different glorious ways. When we were in Maine in the Fall, we had just missed the Puffins, and if I remember right, the Humpback Whales were moving out of the bay. Nature provides us with so many signs as the seasons continuously move from one into another. I thought it might be interesting to generate some conversation as to what signifies spring in your neck of the woods. To help, I have a weekly poll that you can participate in. Feel free to elaborate, tell your favorite Spring stories, leave comments, and as always pictures are welcome!!
