Enjoyed coffee in the screen room. Cats did as well. Many birds are pairing off and making nests. That time of the year.
I enjoy spring in the air. And my yard is filling up with bird nests, and the bunny nest as well.
Such a beautiful sunny day to be outside. Breathing in the fresh air gives me a sense of renewal.
Spring is the time of year when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade.

This makes me think of the verse about a time for change, a time for hope etc.
I'm not religious, but that has always been very poignant / profound for me.

We have had a great spring thus far with it being cool, pleasant and with little rain. My kind of weather. In fact, it is like spring in my home state..not like how it usually is here 3 days of spring and then 90 degrees until November. This weather has been fantastic.!

@CarolDM Not at all! We will surely get paid back for this..maybe with an extra hot June! Gulp, I hope not.

It's getting a little warmer. Seems like we've actually had a spring this year (we have gone from winter to summer so fast that we missed spring if we blinked), which may be why it feels "weird."

@CarolDM — I like warm. Not “hot & humid.”

Yes that is lovely to say about spring, however, for me, it is the opposite. It reminds me of Mama as it was her favorite season RIP

Great quote. The next few days are going to be awesome. 60s and low 70s with plenty of sunshine. Enjoy!

"Spring is a time for plans and projects" Like gardening, spring cleaning and new beginnings!

I actually sat out on the back deck this morning. it was cool but awesome. The Labs came to inspect the deck while I was sitting.
Spring, with its sunshine and flowers is the season of hope!

@CarolDM they, both of them, have to supervise me. Apparently, I am a flight risk!

I never heard that quote before but it's very true for me. I always tell people I needed a sweater even in summer if it's shady or below eighty.
