Top Ten Signs of Spring

Inspired by my friend's blog with her top ten signs of spring (see link to her blog, Green Bananas below), I thought about what I am noticing here in Texas.

1. Thoughts of preparing my income tax return flit through my mind, interspersed with notions of doing some sort of filing first. Naturally neither is being accomplished.

2. Mowing of the grass has increased in frequency and I have all my blue bonnet patches marked out to avoid! This is going to be an awesome year for bluebonnets.

3. I am thinking about the migration I am about to undertake , to return to Canada. I look forward to seeing friends there.



4. Romance is in the air: from the cardinals cavorting at my front porch; the songbirds who wake me up each morning; the wailing cats who pad their tracks over our trucks. This ardour spreads to the new relationship with BS, although he doesn't chirp or wail.
5. The peach stands at the side of the highway are being spruced up, in preparation for local produce.
6. Weazie's corn field is tilled and ready for sowing.
7. Baby goats, sheep, cattle and horses greet me at fencelines as I cycle by, unfazed by my huffing, helmetted presence.
8 Long sleeve shirts have been relegated to the closet at the far end of the house. The tan is on!
9. Renewal of all life is extended this year to include renewal of the home. With BS moving in, the layout and function of the home has changed somewhat. All for the good!


10. I don't have enough time to do everything I want to do. So maybe I'll just say "screw it!" and hop on the scooter for another ride through the Hill Country.

  1. I love these! And look forward to the flowers and baby animals and all those good things up here.
