Lady bugs buzzing around the house, chickens laying eggs like crazy,
birds going nuts at the feeders, squirrel raiding feeders -

What're the signs of Spring you're seeing?

1. The Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on my door today.
First time since October. That's one of the worst signs of spring around here.

7. The honey bees were out looking around for some good stuff.
Sorry girls, it's still early. Himself will cook up something sweet for you.

Also a big flock of goldfinches swarming the feeder; the boys are changing into their MacLeod tartans.

Sugaring going on at the Sugar Shack.

12. Hey!
Do you live in my house? If so I haven't seen you around? :rofl:

The only sign I'm waiting for now that the temps have regulated, the only sign that makes me happy again, are the greening up of all the cow pastures and hay fields with the addition of all the tiny little wild flowers. Until I see them, I'm still depressed.

:hi:
