Spring is coming. Sure some parts of the country are buried under two feet of newly fallen snow and frigid tempuratures.
But here in Boise? The signs are simple and easy to see. A couple of trees are budding. Crazy, I know. It's not even March yet. The sky has been starting to get lighter, earlier and earlier. It's starting about 0715-0730 instead of 0800.
Flocks of Robins have been seen flitting about. Not a couple of Robins, but 25-50 of them at a time.
The final omen? Last night, I found a Lady Bug on my shoe lace. A Lady Bug!
Spring's coming, and I can't wait.

Just makes me long for home even more. One more year, one more year. Much better then the 4 more years I was chanting when we first got here. We'll be lucky to see that kind of weather by April. Spring comes late here.
Boise might be getting spring, but here in the Toronto-ish area, it's still just a far off hope...
I'd kill to see a ladybug right now...
Buds on trees? In Feb? That's a hopeful thought. We've had whole flocks of robins for the last few years. I don't remember seeing so many of them when I was a kid but maybe I just didn't notice them.
These don't seem to leave in the fall either but are around all winter making it hard to see "the first robin" of spring.
But, it's above freezing today!
We've got forsythia flowering here! Spring is definitely on it's way:)
Flocks of robins? They have those?
I'm jealous. We don't have snow, but I don't see any evidence of spring around here.
