Thanks, Ebbie. There are other signs of spring, here, but that just came to me this morning and I wanted to share.:-)

I've been seeing robins now for about 3 weeks. The sparrows have begun their nest-building, and the weeping willow tree is starting to bud out. Yet, my brother remembers a huge snowstorm once on my dad's birthday, May 8th, right here in the Banana Belt of Colorado, so I'm not jumping up and down for awhile.

The only downside to it all is I love to have my windows open. My office window faces the street. While there is a decent amount of space from it to the road, I continually smelled exhaust fumes from the cars going by. Ours happens to be the only outlet road to this neighbourhood. Phew!
