[MoochNNoodles]

We are definitely seeing signs of spring here!! I have yellow and purple crocus blooming. Daffodils are up and blooming. My lilacs are getting buds. My irises are coming up along with the tulips and daffodils (my daffodils are always late because they face the wrong way to get the right sun). The robins are back out. I bet we'll have flowers on the trees soon!



What is your favorite sign of spring?



I love seeing the crocus come up and bloom. But I think the Robins are my favorite. I used to call my Grandparents every year to let them know when we spotted the first robin. Our spring is usually a month before thiers; so it was our little way of saying winter is ending. The last time I talked to Grandpa I told him we were expecting the robins any day. This year's robins were a little bittersweet.

Warm weather! That's all I care about.

The snowdrops and daffodils it's like they are saying it's going to get warmer soon.

 

[Willowy]

The robins are back already! Or at least some of them. It's still cold though, and we just had the most ridiculous thunder/ice/snow storm. So no other signs of spring yet. I'll have to look in my mom's yard to see if the crocuses are coming up yet.

When the dwarf crocus cover the front flower bed like a purple blanket, even though they only last a few days.

Warm weather, birds singing

When I see the birds in our birdhouses, buds on the trees and the hostas starting to come up.

My baby snake is getting bigger too, would you like pictures?

(Ok, I know I'm biased but I do think baby snakes are cuter than tarantulas any day, but still, a lot of people are freaked out by them.)

Baby snake's are soooooo cute so tiny and qwick. Not so impressed with spiders all those legs but as long as I'm not holding spiders they are pretty cool.

Daffodils and watching the birds carrying twigs and moss starting to make their nests.

Now I will always think of tarantulas and snakes when there is a change of season. LOL.
I love all animals, but the thought of them inside my house gives me the headache. But don't get me wrong, I am fascinated by them. So please can you share photos?

Back to the question, I envy you guys. What I have here is only Hot and Cold season. I wish I could also see the changing colors of leaves, birds singing and rejoicing the beginning of the warmer days, flowers of all shapes and colors bloom. The only thing that reminds me of the change in season is my wardrobe change.

yes! what kind? and how many snakes do you keep?i used to keep a few years ago before tarantulas

 

[Willowy]

3 ball pythons and a boa constrictor.

I think there's an "other pets" thread going, I'll put some pics up there.

"Things" poking through the ground. It's almost like a treasure hunt, looking for the first sign of daffodils, hosta, lilies, etc. Seeing leaf buds on trees. We have a redbud in the front yard and the things looks like a red cloud when it's blooming. These are all promises of what's to come.

I was over at the WeShed the other day, looking for the daffodils that we had planted last year. They're up!

I have a pair of robins that keep building their nests in a monstrous trumpet vine that dwarfs its arbor. The poor robins chose a bad location and keep repeating their mistake. Something always gets their eggs.

Oh that’s definitely a sign of spring for any town that sees a lot of plowing and salting! Its not too bad here; but where my family lives someone might think you’re driving drunk when you’re just trying to avoid the potholes!
