Welcome Back, Feathered Friends

It’s been unseasonably warm. And Springy. And just all around HAPPY in these parts.

And the ROBINS are back! 

My mom and I always celebrate the first spring robin we spot. (Brad makes fun of it, but it’s a grand tradition.) Spotting a spring robin totally calls for a phone call and a gleeful 30 minute conversation.

It’s not the bird really.  It’s the meaning behind the little red-breasted bird.

You know what it’s proof of?

Winter has almost lost it’s grip on us.

(Cue Gospel Choir Singing Hallelujah Chorus)

Things That I Won’t Miss About Winter:

~ Old Messy Snow.  (November/December snow is Fantastic.  March snow is DREADFUL.)

~ Dressing 4 Boys in Bulky Coats, Hats, Mittens

~ Unpredictable Travel Plans.

~ The “Winter Yucks” (Illnesses that seem to pass around November – Now)

~ 24/30 Days of Cloudiness in a Month

~ Dark-Colored Clothing

~ Cabin Fever

**What are you most looking forward this spring?  What will you miss the least?**

PS I just heard the weatherman say “snowflakes” in his forecast.
