This Week…It’s Almost Here!!!


It’s been a long wait, thanks to Punxsutawney Phil, but Spring arrives next week!!!

With the coming of spring, I am calm again. Gustav Mahler



We had one day with a 35+ degree difference in our morning temperatures to what we experienced in the afternoon.

My favorite weather is bird chirping weather. Terri Gullemets



Add these extreme swings in temp to the pollen and you have allergies kicking into high gear. This may be why our local grocery chain has all of the allergy meds on sale now!

 

An optimist is the human personification of spring.
Susan J. Bissonette



We are keeping a keen eye out when walking at the Preserve now that it’s warmer. You know…copperheads and coral snakes! They think nothing of crossing right in front of you!

 

It seems like we blinked and there are buds on the trees!  The squirrels love them…the walking path is littered with tiny branches with half eaten buds. 



There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
Rachel Carson



Hang on…winter is almost over!!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Hello Kathy - whatever the weather, enjoying the moment comes to mind while reading your post.  When conditions are favorable, birds chirping and the scents of nature can thankfully enhance those times.

Good morning, Kathy... spring might not officially arrive for a few days, but don't tell Charlotte weather! We've had lovely sunny days in the 70's this week.

Nina Hollander, Broker I love this weather!  It's warm enough to be comfortable outside but now so bad that we're bundled up when walking.

Good morning Kathy. We were teased here in the Chicago area yesterday with temps in the mid to upper 70's. And I bet we will be disappointed by a few more days including possible snow tomorrow. Enjoy your day.

I always hated Punxsutawney Phil. He is almost never right! Staten Island Chuck is much more accurate and he is not stuck up.

Kathy, we have had quite a bit of roller coaster weather too.   60's and 70's this coming week, and again, more snow also.

Joan Cox We need rain..it's the first time I can remember getting fire hazard warnings.

Yippee! I can feel it coming in the air. I only have two patches of snow in my yard, and we're beginning to see the spring birds emerge. March 1st was the first day of Meteorological Spring, but the real official Spring is near.

Doug Dawes we saw a lot more people out this morning at the Preserve where we walk. There were campers, a group of people doing yoga, and an artist by the boardwalk.

Hello Kathy we had a high of 48 on Friday and this Monday we are up to 70 and sunny.  I am not putting away the snow blower till after April 15.

Your excitement for spring is contagious, Kathy Streib! I love how you capture the beauty and quirks of this season, from the buds to the sneaky snakes. Here’s to warmer days ahead and all the renewal they bring!

Hi Lew Corcoran Thank you!  I need to remind myself this summer when it's 100 degrees and humid out what the alternative is!

Oh yes the signs are all around, the bird song seems happier as if they know already. I loved this quote:

Good afternoon Kathy,

I'd say Spring is here in Austin! The weather is 73, sunny, blue skies and windy! Tomorrow more of the same and all week! I'll take it!

We've had a lot of rainy and cold days this past few weeks and finally today the sun was out and we're back in the high 60's.  70's next week.  Yippy Skippy!  I love warm weather and sunshine.....and all the birds and flowers too!  The birds are loving the water fountain today......so fun watching them!

It seems that a lot of beauty comes out into the world during the spring, like that bird you have pictured perched on the birdhouse!

We often have huge swings in temperature! In the summer we often wake up with 50º temperatures that go up to 90º by the afternoon. Or -10º one day and +45º the next. It's all good!

Hi Kathy:

I'm looking forward to, hopefully, some warmer weather...not that 60 is bad for us but 70s would be wonderful. The birds are much more active, especially the hummers, too and we are seeing some young birds with parents at the feeders.

I loved the quotes and photos that you shared!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Jeff
