I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we don’t get snow this weekend, but if we do, it won’t last long. Once it is over, there will be time for a walk and searches for early signs of spring.
Have a wonderful springing forward weekend!
March has been stormy so far, giving us a little of the winter weather that we didn’t get so far this year. But, it feels like spring is around the corner. I hear spring bird calls. I’m not exactly sure what birds are making the calls, but their sounds transport me back to the springs of my childhood. The sun is stronger. It’s light when I wake up and daylight lasts longer. It’s such a welcome time of year.
Here’s what I have to share this weekend.
