Spring is coming.  I can feel it.  I know it is only March 11th but I know that it is coming.  There are signs everywhere and they are wonderful signs.

I am excited.  What do you see around you?  Let me show you what I am seeing.A few daylily sprouts are popping up through the pine straw.  I can see them coming. Those tiny shoots of green.

One of the neat things about moving is that you never are really sure what will pop up the first spring after the move.  Who knows if there are some tulips or daffodils or even some hyacinths?

I do know that there are hydrangeas which the deer left alone until late fall.  But over the winter — oh dear.  Or maybe I should say –oh deer.But there are some buds on these and I am trying to spray them and protect them from my lovely backyard friends.  I am not sure I will be able to keep them away but I am giving it a good try.

I decided to look up and look what I spied.  Buds on trees.  Lots of them.  They are coming.  A lot of our lot is covered with evergreens so it has been green during the winter but I must admit I can hardly wait for all of the leaves to come on all of the trees so that I can feel like I live in the forest again and not see the church across the lake.

So yes, spring is definitely coming and today is a doors open kind of day.  Buddy is loving it.  His favorite spots are by the open doors birdwatching so he is one happy cat.

Another sure sign of spring is Saturday night when we spring forward and change our clocks.  It’s coming, folks.  I am telling you.  What are you most excited about this spring?  Don’t forget to comment for Comments for a Cause.
