This morning I awoke to find a treat of treats: cool Colorado rain! Here in the foothills of the Rockies, Spring carries with it warmer temperatures and of course that unmistakable, indescribable fresh smell. But in very early Spring, the weather changes slowly, like a person unable to rouse herself from bed on a Monday morning. Indeed we have days of warmth mixed in with the general chill of late winter, as if to help keep our spirits up. But the real change of Spring does not come until days like today, when instead of snow there is rain and fog! Why do I find myself so excited by this unexpected dampness each March? I suppose it could be the lovely tinseled sound of raindrops falling through pine needles. But more importantly, the rain coats everything with a glistening sheen, deepening the colors that have become drab through the length of Winter, washing away the dry dusty muck left by the snowmelt that has covered car and home and garden for weeks now. For me, the first sign of Spring isn't a sight but a sound, a chorus of water like manna, that clears the dust of old Winter out of my lungs and announces a season of hope and color. :

The first sign of spring is in your heart,when you realize that you have survived yet another dark and depressing winter.The dirty snow will melt,and there will be green and sweet smelling flowers soon.Your neighbors come out of hybernation and we all have a brighter and warmer outlook.(at least for a few months).

Bumble-bees coming out of hibernation & Lapwings moving back to summer feeding grounds, catkins showing, are amongst the more obvious signs. Internal tree temparetures increase as well.

Daffodils and crocusses are on the way. The weather is hopefully a wee bit warmer as well

Tulips blooming like your name Miss Tulip. Well flowers blooming, birds and young baby birds chirping and mother animals like Bambi coming about together.
