Thursday ?s & Thoughts: Signs of spring

At 12:47pm, the Vernal Equinox (aka Spring ) 2014 will usher in and Old Man Winter gets booted out. At least, we hope so. With the increased daylight and warm temperatures returning to many regions around the country many of us want to skip the spring cleaning and head outdoors. I, for one am all for that.

Instead, I want to talk about signs of spring.

Signs of spring
daffodils in bloom

This past Sunday, we enjoyed spring-like weather on a fun outing. I took the above picture at The Sam Houston Schoolhouse in Maryville, Tennessee. This isn’t want I am going to talk about today, you can hook up next week for Wordless Wednesday to see more photos from our visit.

  1. What are the first signs that you see each year that makes you think spring?  The first evidence I notice that its spring regardless of what the calendar says are daffodils in bloom.
  2. What smells or sounds do you associate with spring? Bed sheets dried outdoors and birds happily chirping make me think of spring. Sadly, we do not have a clothes line to get that fresh line-dried scent but listening to the sound of birds is a welcome musci to my ears.

According to the Weather Channel app on my phone it shows a promising forecast for us.

    1. Triple digit temperatures? Okay, I will NEVER (at least not at the moment) complain about our weather again! I do not handle extreme cold or hot weather very well. I do love spring and fall in East Tennessee!

  1. no daffodils for me — but I am enjoying those beautiful blooms.
    We are having a snow blizzard. of course. But it’s probably the last big hoorah before we actually start to smell the change in the winds.

  2. It’s gray here, with mention of possible snow or rain later…. kind of chilly and not a great day at all.
    Those daffodils look promising though!
