First Day of Spring
The first official day of spring was just beautiful here in north Texas. The sunshine warmed me up and the breeze cooled me down, with a nice moderate temperature in the low 70’s. I must have driven 100 miles today and had the air conditioner on for at least half the trip, because of the greenhouse effect of the sunlight warming up the interior of the car.
I can’t wait for the spring flowers to start blooming in April, especially the bluebonnets. We already have a good start on above average rainfall, so we should be in full bloom by May. Looks like the drought conditions might ease up this year too.
I already see some budding trees starting to bloom, and in one of those trees just yesterday, the first red cardinal of the spring season appeared. It was just chirping away, leaping from tree limb to limb, impossible to miss because of it’s brilliant red color.
I see a lot of nursery advertising already in the newspapers, pushing their spring crop of garden herbs, vegetables and flowers. Have you prepared for your spring planting or garden yet?
