Signs of Spring

The girls and I were talking about the weather and seasons the other day. Lilly was very proud that she knew it was Spring-time, so we started talking about signs of spring. And thankfully, we've seen all of these signs the past few days and weeks. I think it's safe to say spring is here (but that doesn't mean we won't see more snow...)

*the grass is starting to green up
*the trees have tiny buds on them
*we found an itty, bitty wild flower in the backyard
*the lakes are finally free of ice
*at night, we can hear the frogs, which means the ground is now thawed
*robins are all over the yard
*the theme this month at storytime is Spring
*animals are out of hibernation
