it is still white outside, but when the Sandhill Cranes return to the Platte River, spring is around the corner... some have trickled in... but most are still holding just to the south... any day now...
How You Can Tell Spring Is Here.

When I don't see Robins around and the trees are turning green or blossoming then spring really is here. Last week I did see a couple Robins.
Around here in Texas change of seasons can happen real quick. Last couple weeks were 40-50 then by last weekend 60-80. My pear and plum trees are covered with blossoms now.

Around here it starts raining daily in Springtime and the ants move into my bathroom. They'll stay until it stops raining in October. And yes, I've tried everything. Joe

Arrest go up at the border........
Well, we still have a little snow on the ground, but things seem to be warming up a bit. I can tell when spring arrives by the unmistakable odor wafting from the compost pile. And, take it from me, when you happen to own mules, the compost pile grows exponentially. The other day, when the sun was out and the temperature was in the 40's, I took a deep breath and could tell that spring is just around the corner.

That got me laughing.
Right now you can break into a sweat and be walking in fog at the same time. The fog's more like steam
I can send Greg around.....

The first mockingbird enthusiastically practicing its entire vocabulary..... yep that's a sure sign of spring...
The problem is they often do it in the middle of the night...and the Robins start singing at 4:30 or 5:00 am. This is all really annoying when you have your bedroom window open and are trying to sleep.
Ah the beginning of spring! Now when I go outside I can shed one of my 3 layers of clothing.
Due to the nasty/cold winds you got to dress in layers, thats about the only thing the TV weather forecasters tell you that they get right!

For me it is when I start to hear the Red-wing Blackbirds.
Pictures or it didn't happen.
Punxsutawney Phil said we were going to have an early spring.

Scrub jays jamming food into the rain gutter drains.
Darwin award winning ice fishermen start dropping through the ice.
Round here it is pick ups and SUV's with idiots running around the desert with gun barrels sticking out the windows to shoot whistle pigs.
It is a rite of spring. Wished I had the money spent on 22 & 17 HMR shells they sell around here from March to June.
I go too, but don't road hunt and keep my activity to private land so I don't have to listen to little projectiles go whizzing past.
Saw two trucks out cruisin for pigs Sunday.

Usually in this area, the sun shines, the tulips and crocus begin to break the surface of the soil.
Then we have a snow storm killing the above mentioned, it's Spring.

We shoot fish. Really, we do. Here's a link to a video some of you might get a kick out of. I'm on the opposite end of the lake from this video, but we do it here to. I's something we really look forward to every year. The fish shooting is near the end of the video.

I was in Chicago for the last couple of days and saw a lot of high migrating geese headed north.
Spring is not a pleasant time here right now, huge dirty snow piles, rain, rain, melting snow and flooding.

Did somebody say spring? Still 3' of snow in my yard. Going to be a fun mud season.
I can tell when my eyes start watering, nose running, and I get a sore throat.
The white stuff in our trees is Bradford Pear blossoms.
