This is how we know.

Though there are no buds on the trees yet and no robins chirping, today we were all thrilled to see the farmer plowing his field to get it ready for spring planting.  I am thrilled because that means the world will be green again soon.  But you’d have thought it was Christmas the kids were so excited.  They love to watch all the seagulls and birds that flock to the worms just turned up by the plow.  And they jump on the trampoline as high as they can to wave to the farmer and scream their hellos as he passes.  I guess there is just something exciting about a tractor no matter how old you are.   Especially when the tractor is in your back yard.

Welcome Spring!
