SPRING FEVER

I'll have you know spring in Southern Utah is practically near perfect!!! And I've now learned that the same may apply to Meas, AZ.

It comes early!!


It became official as of yesterday! I now fully expect it to remain gloriously warm, with temps rising each day until the tar begins to melt on the roads! yeeha!

It was the 5th of March when I spotted the first plum tree in bloom. I love those first white flakes of petals adorning the bare twigs of the trees.

It was even before this that I was enjoying the sight of daffodils leaping from the dirt on the south sides of our homes here.

Our pair of mockingbirds, that nest in the cedar trees out front, are back with their familiar calls.
The river draws me to its' banks as does the extra energy of puppy Lucy!

The patio warrants a dusting and tidying

The screens are washed and the window are OPEN!

The grass is greening up nicely

Im saying farewell to the clumpy old shoes and my toes are free once again

The smell of sunblock will soon fill the air, aahhh...

I'll spend more money than I should at the the local nursery, so that I can fill my pots with a variety of color and texture

We'll try our luck once again to grow some tomatoes and probably some squash

Spring cleaning is real

-Brian has taken on the garage

- Im working on the quest room

Im anticipating beach towels of every color, hanging on the fence to dry after a swim by everyone but me

The morning doves will build a new nest in our wisteria once again-and- we'll never be fortunate enough to see their beautiful offspring grow and fly away (its magic how they disappear)

Snow is already a distant, unpleasant memory

Baxter is shedding and leaving clumps of hair which the sparrows use to line their nests

Indoor housework becomes even more neglected-for the more enjoyable outdoor busy work

Attendance at the bird feeders has already diminished-who wants store bought food when the "fresh" stuff is now available?

Soup-the turtle, can move back to his summer estate in the tropics-ie the pond in the back yard

There will be more BBQ's

Im sharing the trails again with the lounging lizards

So.....could I in good conscience ask for ANYTHING more? -some fireflies would be nice and how about an ocean breeze? jk

Spring-Glorious Spring has arrived- thank heavens!!!!
