My dad reported seeing the first robin of the season today--usually they don't appear till around Lincoln's birthday. So although it's still cold here (temps in the teens this morning), I know spring is not far away. What signs of spring have you seen recently?

I live in Michigan and I've seen the grass. Usually this is a sign of Spring, but unfortunately I think we just had a warmer January than usual. :)

| I have bluebirds building a nest in my front yard! And the daffodils are budding. |

I have a red maple tree that has buds on it. The bees are all over that tree! Spring can't come fast enough for me.

I saw a honey bee today when I picked up my hubby. Just one. Is that a sign of spring? It got in the car but I shooed it back out. I was glad to see it, though. Nothing else yet around here. We are supposed to get snow this weekend. I am so not likin' that.

Kris:
As I said earlier, my red maple tree is sprouting buds. The other morning, I was walking down the driveway to the mailbox and could hear many bees buzzing. I hope Spring is soon.

I saw my first Robin today ,chirping away in the tree. I was really happy to see it.I also have bulbs and other stuff coming through the ground. We have had a very mild January. I just hope it doesn't turn bitter cold in February.
I haven't been on here in months . It is nice to be back

Before the house burned just a couple of dys so it was like Dec.18th it was raining here in Ga and I looked out my front window and I not only saw 1 robin but at least 10 maybe more they were everywhere I called the kids to come look. I guess they like to play in the rain just like the kids do. Blessings, Karen

| We have no signs of spring yet, but most of the ground is covered with snow and big drifts. |
