Spring is coming!

Lately, the cold and dark winter days have affected my energy. I don’t know if it’s because I’m older or what. Thus, I look for every little sign of spring. And even in early March, there are plenty of signs!

1. Fresh flowers.

Okay, so one can buy fresh flowers all year long, but Mr. Ken bought this cute little flowering plant for our cute little bears, Sir Oliver and Sir Angus. The little flowers are almost as cute as our little bears!

2. Mornings are brighter.

I am noticing that it is light out at 6:15 am and this makes it so much easier to get up.

3. Afternoons last longer.

I also notice it is light at 5 pm. Since I am such a morning person, I am usually quite sleepy by 4 pm, but I am especially so In mid-December, when it is pitch black by 4:15 or so.

What signs of spring have you noticed?
