I've seen some spring beauties here and candytuft. Also, the irises are starting to sprout!!



The candytuft in my yard is going strong.

I always get the cleaning bug in the spring.  I love throwing open the windows and letting the winter dust out.  I also love being able to get outside and hike/walk.  There is nothing like a spring day to enjoy a nice long walk.  Also, I'm planning on heading over to Seattle sometime soon.  Now that snow/traction tires aren't required to cross the mountain pass I feel comfortable heading over to enjoy Puget Sound, Pike's Place market and meeting up with a few friends.

Thanks for that!! There is over a foot of snow at my house so it is nice to imagine a place where bluebirds sing, the candytuft blooms, and people go for long walks.  :)

Well, if all goes according to plan, this spring will be marked by a good week or so of vacation for me, which will comprise of a trip to Estes Park, Colorado. This will be the first time I will have left the State of Texas in about seventeen years, and the first time I will have returned to Colorado in well over twenty-five!

That is just terrific news, Scott!! I can't wait!!

Since it's still usually in the mid-40s here and cloudy and rainy, the most I've been able to do so far is buy a bunch of daffodils for the kitchen table.

Still waiting for spring this year, so nothing to celebrate yet  :(.

My personal marker to decide it's officially spring is when I hang up the laundry outside for the first time of the year. In winter I use my tumbler, but in spring and summer, I let my laundry dry outdoors.

This activity is ususally followed by putting up a deck chair and taking a sun bath  :).
Then it's spring and both activities are my way of celebrating. Even hanging up the laundry is fun then (but the sun bath more  :laugh:).
