I can only imagine how bad my writing would be LOL!
What signs of spring are popping up in your area? Here on my farm I've noticed the tulips popping out of the ground, the cardinals are singing very loudly in the morning (not sure if it's mating season or they're just happy), and the sun feels so wonderful even if the air is a bit chilly.

Daffodils and tulips are showing up and skunks must be out and around because the smell is all around.

Daffodils are close to opening! :) Lots of singing birds!! Hydrangeas are opening new leaves…our early fruit trees are close to budding.

WOW! Spring has sprung in the west! Field work won't be happening around here for about a month yet. There's no sign of life on the fruit trees yet either.
Denise - the skunks are stinking it up around here too! I just never associated the smell with spring before LOL!

It's terrible that smell. It seeps into the house so I know there's one hiding out somewhere around the area. We saw one along the road yesterday when we were coming home. I never smelled it this bad here before so never really associated it with spring. We lived in the woods in NJ and only ever knew there was one around once. He proudly marched past our picnic area while we were out there. No one actually knew it but a couple of us and the dogs weren't out so no issues. He went on his merry way.
