First Signs of Spring

It's happening! I was so surprised to walk outside yesterday and see our winter aconites in their full glory. The daffodils look close to popping, too. With the temperatures in the 60s for the next several days, I'm sure they'll be opening up soon.

I love living in the south. This is my birthday week, and when I was growing up in upstate New York, we always had this week off from school for our "mid-winter break." We still had weeks and weeks of snow and cold to get through.

Now I get the first signs of spring for my mid-winter birthday: tiny flowers and the kids jumping for joy in the sun.

  1. Wishing you a wonderful birthday week! While I struggle with the sometimes oppressive heat of Southeast Texas, the bitter cold we've experienced the last couple of weeks (lows in the 20s!) has been a rather shocking experience. This week's temp range: lows in the 50s, highs in the 70s. That's more like it.

    Enjoy the beautiful spring and make some beautiful birthday memories with your loved ones! :)

  3. I've lived all my life in the South and I always start getting Spring fever when the warm days start popping up this time of year because I know it can't be too far off!
    Happy Birthday! :)
