Signs of spring at our house

1. We start getting out and playing in the dirt. (The Chief's current project involves building a bed w/ pavers and planting caladiums and other shade-lovers in it.)

2. One or both of us trot off to the nursery and spend too much money on bedding plants. And this year we might even splash out on a little bitty flowering tree to replace the dogwood on the south side that died a few years ago.

3. When we change the sheets, we replace the flannels with percales. (Though I think we got ahead of ourselves with that this year - lows near freezing last night!)

4. We can leave the doors & windows open, and do!

5. I inspect the garden when I get home every day, seeing what's blooming where.
