It's official!!

I don't need a calendar to tell me it's spring. Instead, I rely on these cuties:

To me, the return of the robins from the south heralds the beginning of spring. And today I saw my first ones happily chirping in the trees! Lo and behold, it also happened to be a nice, warm sunny day and to boot, the tulips were even starting to peek! JOY!


There's no pick-me-up quite like the first signs of spring, don't you think?

  1. I totally agree with you about Spring, it's such a joy seeing the bulbs popping their little heads up! Your pictures of the robin's and tulips couldn't be more beautiful, and are a perfect sign of Spring! Thanks for visiting my blog and your sweet comment! Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs

  2. Hi;

    I live in Toronto and I saw a robin yesterday (18th). It is a definitive sign of spring for me too! I don't think that I've seen one so early.
    Dare we hope? :)
