I have noticed that the clover is springing up here and there in my yard and today I noticed several clover flowers! This is indeed a nice sign that Spring is on it's way here very soon!
I have also noticed some of the grass sprouting and seeding. The chickens love these new sprouts and the seeds are just a bonus item.
Have you noticed any signs of Spring at your house?

@kareng I was thankful for the rain we got today that washed all the pollen off of our vehicles, buildings, roads and sidewalks. Sadly, everything will be blanketed in yellow again in just a few days, but for now all of that pollen has been washed away.

@Adie04 We have a few more months to wait on Summer. Just a couple of years ago we got snow in the south 3 times in April. We don't ever get snow 3 times a year in the colder months of Dec through February. The weather is all screwed up these days with climate change.

Starlings are starting to come around, and the trees are starting to bud ever so slightly.

Yes. There were buds on the lilacs. Crocus and daffodils were in bloom. I had grass growth and clover coming up in my yard too.
Then it got down into the low 20's and snowed three days out of four for a total of about 6 inches. There is still snow in places and it's been frosty in the am.
I am afraid to go see if they survived.

I am hoping that our nights in the 20's are gone! The 30's can go too!! But I think it is too soon for that little wish!!
I lost my blooms on the camelias with our last dips into the 20's but at least got to enjoy them for a couple of weeks this year. Last year the deep freeze in November took care of them for the whole winter.

@kareng
I was pretty excited for Spring. I'm glad I didn't prune the fruit trees like I had planned.

@Vikingswest1 Yes! You would have regretted that. I really think the seasons are shifting.

Yes, heard redhead cardinal bird singing for a mate. That's a sure sign of spring us coming when you hear this bird's melodic song. Days longer too another sign of spring.

Same here. We are back to nice days here this week. Temps from 60's all the way to high 70's and Sunday in the 80's but rain comes back into the picture for most days next week. Still better than freezing!! Oh and no nights in the 30's in the next 7-10 days. Win!
