True Signs of Spring are Finally Here

After a very long winter it is finally showing real signs of spring in the neighborhood.  It is finally beginning to warm up and thus the flowers and dormant plants are starting to come up.
 Both of these plants are in my neighbor's yard. I love the vibrant purple color!
 There was a pair of geese stopping by the pond to take a rest.  They were swimming on the pond until we came to take a look.
 Last fall the pond across the street was mostly empty.  With all the snow melt, it is full to the brim.
 My own plants are beginning to come through too.
 Including the tulips in the front flower bed.

 Clare and I went for a walk this morning and while she was putting the stroller away, Brock was finding pinecones and throwing them into the firepit.
He loves being outside.  Here's hoping that we can now wash the winter coats and put them away.  We've got some GREAT weather forecast for the next week.  Here's hoping that Spring is really here to stay.
