Signs of Spring in Beautiful Pennsylvania

We live in the northeast and I love the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons. I thoroughly despise Winter. I’m not a fan of snow, ice and the freezing cold. Nope, not tall. As soon as Winter arrives I start counting down the days until the first day of Spring. Winter is depressing and I can totally do without it.

Spring has finally sprung in the northeast and I’m seeing signs of it everywhere! The birds have been out chirping, building new nests, lay eggs and we caught some of those eggs hatching! We have birding areas set up on our property where we can watch them come and go.

A lot of animals give birth during the spring and early summer seasons and check out this little baby deer huddled by a bush. Hubby was really shocked to walk out his office door and see the baby laying there. He observed it from afar and later that day Momma Deer came back and the two of them scurried off into the woods together. Way too cute!

My flower gardens are alive with action! Last month I saw my daffodils pop out of the ground. Earlier this month I saw beautiful blooming Tulips, Hyacinths and Bearded Irises. I love having my windows open during this time of the year and have the light floral fragrance come drifting through our home. Finally, some fresh air!!!

Another sign that Spring is finally here is the weekly chore of mowing the grass is about ready to start up. Hubby has already told me that next weekend he’ll be getting mower and trimmer out of the shed. Time to give them a good tune-up and get them ready for the upcoming mowing season. It’s nice to see green grass again and while I’m at it…green leaves growing on the trees again.

What do you enjoy most during the Spring season? I really enjoy getting outside again and tending to my flower gardens and preparing our veggie garden for the planting season. I love going on long walks in the park, on the beach or for short hikes in the woods. I just enjoy being outside…PERIOD.
