Well, where I live, the snow is still denying us an open slider door or any other sense of warm weather. This can be depressing, but, if you look hard enough, you can see that spring won’t hide under a blanket of ice forever. Winter must give in! Here are some signs to look for as reassurance that spring is on its way. 1. Do your trees have buds? Next time you venture outside, brush the snow off the branches of your trees. Are there any soft, fresh, green sprouts pultruding from the branches? There is a sure sign that spring is on its way! 2. Is there bird song in the air? Open the door and take a long listen. Do you hear anything? In the early hours of the morning, you have a good chance of hearing a cardinal or robin singing for a mate high in the trees. They do this because they know the warm weather is coming just around the corner. 3. What is crawling on the ground? A few nights ago, I looked down on the floor to find an energetic wolf spider sprinting across the carpet. The next day, another was entertaining my dog by being eaten. Why else would these arachnids be there if the warmth wasn’t on its way? They are preparing for spring. 4. Mammals are waking up. Driving in your car at night, I’m sure you have caught more than a whiff of the familiar scent of the skunk defense mechanism. They, along with many other mammals, are waking from their long rest to meet the coming warmth. 5. The cold is fading slowly. We all know this cold won’t last forever. The last week was a taste of how it will feel when the creator gives the OK for spring to unleash its warmth once again this 2017. This spring, I want to make the most of every day that God gives to me. I want to fill it with as many fresh experiences and perfect memories that I possibly can share with you. Don’t miss out.
