More Signs of Spring

This has been the warmest March, recorded in Arkansas, and because of it, Spring has sprung early! My house is surrounded by beautiful pink, and white azaleas. I love being greeted by them when I pull into the driveway.

Yesterday, as I was walking to the front door I noticed this beautiful butterfly hopping from flower to flower. Of course I had to have a picture. He was patient, and hung around for me to scramble through my purse and dig out my camera. I was able to get just close enough to take this picture.

Today... bees were buzzing from flower to flower. Again, I whipped out my camera, and eased in really close, instead of zooming in. For my effort I was able to capture this picture of a bee, without getting stung.

More reasons why I love spring so much!

Signs Of Spring

It's the first day of March, and Spring isn't official until the 20th, but we're experiencing #SignsofSpring already. We've had a very mild winter, in fact February has seen most of its days 60 degrees, and above. Those temperatures have produced budding trees and flowers, as well as the return of some animals,  along with creepy crawly things.

Through out the month of March, I will share on Twitter #SignsOfSpring that I come across. Join me in watching and documenting the change of season. Below are a few signs I've spotted so far.

What #SignsOfSpring have you noticed in your neck of the woods?

The daffodils are in yards, on the side of highways, around stop signs... It should be the state flower.

I know it's Spring when the ants show up to party! The rest of the the spring/summer season we'll be fighting ants.

Each spring geese return to a pond near my house. They lay their eggs, and do what they do. Soon there will be literally a drove of geese at this one location, and I love it. At times they cause cars to stop and wait, while they cross the road.
