We see, every so slightly, the promise of spring. While not yet officially spring, warmer days are beckoning us outdoors.
There's an old saying that goes: "When crows fly in pairs, the day will be fair." And true as an old adage can be, crows were flying overhead yesterday, calling out to one another. The sky was bright blue and the warm sun was shining. A day like this was just too nice to stay indoors, so after school, the kids were outside in tee shirts kicking balls around the yard. After a few games of kick ball (things were getting a bit muddy) I carefully dodged puddles to look for more signs of spring...sure enough, the first shoots of daffodils were coming up.
March weather comes and goes, and as the day ended, I could hear the sounds of a gentle rain. That's okay...soon enough it will coax out more daffodils and forsythia and spring will be in full bloom. Besides, spring cleaning is still an on-going process here...I need to remember all that needs doing indoors!
We're a little behind you, but it does indeed seem like spring is in the air! No flowers yet, but soon, maybe.

Nah, screw the "indoor cleaning". You and the children run outside and enjoy that beautiful Spring sunshine every chance you get, friend! Remember the parable of Mary and Martha. Your children will remember you playing with them under the happy blue skies much more than any cupboard you clean or floor you mop.
