I lived in Texas and loved the Bluebonnets and the Indian Blankets.

OMG As a kid I would go through the woods and find pussy willows. Loved them, now I never see them anymore.

I know it’s Spring when I see the first robin and I make sure to announce it to our kids and grandkids. After I’ve left this world, maybe when they see a robin they’ll think of me ! (maybe)

Bluebonnets, azaleas blooming, and robins are what I watch for.

Here in Alaska, we look for different signs. We are anxiously awaiting our first hummingbirds (while looking out at the snow and rain!), and the birthing of the baby moose. So sweet! We can't plant for awhile yet, but watching buds come out renews our spirits!

That makes sense about the juncoes. sp? I still had a couple a few days ago. Now I have goldfinches. But I have a cold stiff breeze. Am confined to the quilting area with that wind.

For me it is the first blooms of the early peach blossom in the middle of Feb.
