Welcome Spring!
Today is the Spring Equinox which means that Spring has officially sprung! And this past week we’ve found lots of evidence that spring is indeed knocking on the door.
Can you believe what my son caught a few days ago?!
Yes, that’s a Green Frog! I couldn’t believe it! In all his years of frog-catching I don’t remember him ever catching one in March!
We are finding the Crocus are in bloom everywhere we go. Here are a few photos I’ve taken the last week of the different varieties I’ve found around our home and at a local park.
Notice the very visible pollen on this next one…
These yellow crocus remind me of the simple poem The Crocus by Walter Crane: “The golden crocus reaches up, To catch a sunbeam in her cup.”
Speaking of the local park, here are a few more pictures of our beautiful adventure there. This first one is of my Dad trying to capture of picture of one of the many frogs that were jumping off the side of the wetland into the water.
This next one is a pair of ducks. It’s that time you know…we’ll be seeing little ducklings soon.
We found trees and bushes where blooms were beginning to burst open!
And lastly, on the trail, this is my older daughter and her friend, Grace.
I hope your Spring is springing as beautifully as ours is! I realize that winter may have not let totally loose of her hold yet, but hope of more of these warmer days is growing stronger!
Beautiful pictures! Spring is such a season of hope. Thank you for sharing what it looks like in your neck of the woods.
Our spring is really just beginning here. There are still little piles of snow but they are few and far between. We had a couple of weeks of great temps but it was so incredibly foggy that we felt like we might never see clearly again!
Love your greening grass. Hopefully ours is on its way soon.
Blessings!

Woohoo Spring! I was sooo ready for it and then we got all that snow (on the first day of spring, mind you) last weekend. I thought surely our daffodils and forsythia blooms would be gone by the time it melted. But, no, there still out there blooming just as brightly as they were before it snowed. Have a happy and joy-filled spring!
