If your thermometer looks like Spring is dragging it’s feet, I have good news. This morning I took a little walk and saw many signs that Spring is about to burst forth and if it’s here, it will be coming there soon. I always love it when I see the first robins of Spring.
Being migratory, they don’t stay in Florida but often stop here on their way further north. This morning a whole flock of them were bouncing around as I made my way around the neighborhood. What a welcome sight as our winter has been colder than normal. (Yea, I know as soon as it turns hot they will be yelling about ‘global warming” but where are they when the thermometer drops?) I know it’s hard to see but that bird below the hose on this house is a robin. Unfortunately they were too shy for my camera to get a good shot but it’s there anyway.
Other things I noticed were people replanting palms the cold had killed and the first new leaves on crape myrtles among others. Spring is definitely coming and I am looking forward to some nice days in the garden before the summer heat sets in. Now I have to get the hibiscus trimmed back, the hedge clipped, etc. It sure feels good to be working in a T shirt!
