The weather this week has been a contrast. The past weekend and Monday were so spring like you could almost forget that it's still winter and the vernal equinox is a month away. But, just as I was about to dig out a pair of shorts to wear the weather changed. Tuesday was cold and gray and I knew it was still winter. But, just because the weather is changeable doesn't mean we can't see signs that spring is on the way. So, I walked around and made some pictures that show the fact that nature knows spring is coming.
Yeah Alice! Thanks for the proof that another spring is not that far away! A friend brought me a little jar of buttercups! Love them! And you,
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to see these little signs of spring there. I drove through a rural part of North Carolina, took the long way home from Pittsboro and saw lots of signs of Spring on the way.
