Today's topic is 10 Signs of Spring. #1 will explain why I haven't been around much lately.
1. Lent and Easter - Lent precedes Easter and it is a busy time at our church with midweek dinners and worship services, planning for Holy Week, etc. And it's even busier when one is the Worship & Music team leader. Things will calm down after Easter...I hope.
2. Blooming things everywhere! Camellias, daffodils, Lenten roses, and many I can't name. I love seeing them all.
3. Birds - It cheers me up to hear the birds chirping in the morning.
4. No coats - It's nice to be able to walk outside without having my teeth chatter.
5. Trees budding out - I think it looks really neat to have a haze of color on the tree branches.
6. Spring peepers - They have been SO loud! We have a creek and ponds near our house and I guess that could be why we hear so many.
7. Grilling out - Whether it's us or a neighbor grilling out, it's a great feeling to cook outside.
8. Seeing people in shorts - Not me, of course. But many people have been wearing shorts and flip flops already. I did live it up and wear sandals the other day.
9. Cutting grass - Many of our neighbors have had to cut their grass already. Ours doesn't need it yet.
10. Weeds - This one isn't so fun. But we have lots of weeds popping up in the yard and flower beds.
I hope you are seeing some signs of spring where you are!
You have way more signs of spring than I do - we haven't cooked outside yet and our lawn won't need mowing for quite some time.
