Signs of Spring

I am so happy to see no more snow!!! And this cold cold weather I hate cold weather!I live in Texas and the weather here is and has been crazy and finally we get the sun today and 65 degrees!!!! Yea111

The ants don't bother us here until summer. Lots of daffodils and trees in bloom though. Maybe you can send the ants to Mexico?

Good to hear about Spring. Here in our place, Summer should be April yet, but over a month now, or maybe for two months, we have no rain. So the weatherman told, Summer could be early. But then, it's El Niño here that makes plants, animals and fishes suffer drought and there are killings to some of them. Electric power corporation also said that this is one reason for power shortage in the country. Waters in dams which is the source hydro-power plants are getting little. Your expecting Spring and Summer when it's winter, now we need rain.

No sign of spring here yet but it was expected to be late after we had such a bad winter. We don't really get ants until summer. We think of signs of spring as when we start to see spring flowers.

hi savypat,may be you constructed your house on their property they're being so nice to you coz they never tried to explore your ears or nose ---if they seem to be annoying for you---building a huge wall besides your house might help---atleast they would change their route coz it takes more time to climb the wall .great day.

The frequent call of cuckoo is treated here in India as the most significant sign of spring.

we have been pretty lucky here where i live because the weather hasnt been too bad all winter and we really havent had all that much snow either, but i do have to say that i really love spring and am really looking forward to it!

Hi, Pat! I hope you're not offended that I find that fascinating. I like thinking of them making this trek twice a year, and watching their march!

Yes looks like you have entered into some one else's domain and you are being punished for that. Hope these intruders do not stay around for too long! It they just come for a short visit twice a year I think you could tolerate them. Or else like you say enjoy and breath deeply!

Today I awoke to sunshine!! It will reach 37 today and the snow will melt some more. This weekend I may even get to move my car from the street and into my garage!! My begonia and impatiens that I am saving for spring are flowering, hooray! I can hardly wait to plant them outside! I'm SO ready for Spring!! I usually enjoy winter but this one was the second most snowy in my state. No ants yet but the birds aren't at the feeder as much.

We are heading into autumn here and I am a little bit thankful that the ants are disappearing! Each summer I have them all over my house, into the cats’ food, in the bathroom and laundry; one year I had them inside the pantry which was heartbreaking but I managed to get away with that this summer. They are horrible little creatures and so hard to get rid of! We tried boiling water in the nest which sounds terribly cruel but they were taking over the house...It was either them or us... Enjoy spring!

Our bulbs are slow this year. We put them in pots as we didn't have a patch of the new garden ready for them. But they are starting to shoot and I keep seeing their promise all around this area which is new to us at this time of year. Sorry about your ants. That's a strange story. But I guess you are used to it by now and just let them go on their way.

I live in Greece... Spring is all around here too... you can smell when you walk around.. you see it on trees...Spring on airrr!!!!

Hello my friend We use to get ants alot, so much so one went in my ear so I drowned the little sucker lol I knew right way what it was they use to be all over the place so I assume one was on my finger when for whatever reason I touched my ear and in he/she went, just the thought not a good feeling at all. Thanks.

Hey pat! I am ! You must be right~ You just might be living on "their" turf! I think that I'm seeing slight signs of Spring too! Or at least I think I am! I have see alot of birds flying by lately and am hearing they singing too! Or maybe it's just that I so want it to be Spring to be here already!

Canada here, spring is in the air and its way too early!! I dont usually think about my darling exterminator until mid April but Ive been thinking about him for the past 2 wks now. They say you can draw a line in chalk and the ants wont cross it. I dont know if its true, never tried it myself, Id rather have the man of my life "exterminator" spray inside and out so I dont have to go nuts thinking about those awful, terrible, yukky critters. That said, our bears came out of hibernation this week....so spring is definitely here!! Now I know God has a wicked sense of humor and he'll dump so much snow come April or even May that we'll all be caught by surprise.....its happened before a very long time ago, snow in May!! Hope you can blast the devil out of your ants who decided to visit your home.

It's getting in to the 70s during the day (southern NM); I guess you could say spring is here, but it's still too cold for me (and apparently the ants...they're not here yet). I'm waiting for the 80s, then spring is here.
