A sure sign spring is really coming is when we have the changing of the guard at my workplace. For those of you who don't know, my sweetie and I both work for the city's garbage utility. Me - inside in the offices, him - outside driving trucks. Since we work in garbage we see lots of birds that are attracted to garbage; seagulls, ravens and eagles. All winter long it is ravens and eagles and then there is a week in the spring where it switches to seagulls. Today Tim saw three SEAGULLS. That means spring is really here.

What a beautiful peice, and underlying significance! Just really neat!!!
Happy Spring Patty. Maybe that snow will start melting now and the moose will migrate to greener pastures.
That's always exciting to see the signs (seagulls) of spring. It's the same for us here on Tainter Lake. As soon as the ice goes out we see lots of ducks, geese and some swans too.
It's so fun to see the familiar and know that spring can't be far behind! Hope it comes SOON!
