I noticed one of my surefire indicators that Spring is just around the corner.
No, it is not the Robins in the yard, although there are plenty of those.
No, it is not the daffodils in bloom, although there are plenty of those.
There is a small roadside motel near the homestead, and starting in early Spring through the middle of the Summer, you will see 2-6 of these delivery trucks at the motel during the weekend. They are from South Alabama and I guess they use this motel as a base to deliver their plants to the nearby stores and nurseries. So seeing these trucks lets me know the stores are stocking up, getting ready for the customers to come in and buy their Spring bedding plants and supplies, Spring must be just around the corner.

Spring cannot get here fast enough for me! It’s 10 degrees outside and the wind is howling making the tree branches moan and groan. It’s been so cold I had to change the chicken’s water three times today because their water froze!
Winter gets old in a hurry doesn’t it?
I’m so looking forward to spring but I’m really not ready for it to get here. There’s still so much to do….and many seeds to start!
Spring may be here soon, but it will be a long time until planting time is here.
No robins yet here in Sconnieland. We’re still getting pretty cold at night and not too warm most days. But, I’m keeping my eyes open.
Yeah, it is a little early for Spring in your neck of the woods. Don’t put those snowblowers away just yet!
