One more sign...
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I post a picture and just a few words.
In the winter, the air in our bedroom gets super dry and it takes near constant running of the humidifier to keep the air moist enough for comfy breathing.
But oh, happy happiness, the weather has turned, and even though the heat does still kick on, it's not enough to suck all the moisture out of the air.
So yesterday, I dried and cleaned the parts because it's time to store this away until next winter.
One more sign spring is on its way...

Love this! I can tell it is getting warmer because it is cold in our bathroom in the morning. In the winter the heat runs so much that it gets warm inside this small, closed-door room. I'm happy for a cold bathroom!
Isn't it funny that you could be happy over a cold bathroom?
We do the same thing in the winter with humidifiers in our bedrooms! Lovely heat pump air is so dry!!! I know it's bad when we actually shock ourselves and the cat with static! Time to put them away. Yay!!!
Mr. FG and I sometimes deliver a shock when we kiss each other too. And not a good kind of shock. Ha.
In Michigan, we look for robins. I saw two yesterday!
We are having an extremely early spring here in northern Nevada. My crocuses are already done blooming and my daffodils are putting on quite the display now.
Unfortunately it is also unusually dry here too, although humidifiers and lotion are normally year round things when you live in the high desert.
I remember looking for signs of spring. Now in Florida I think we somehow skipped over spring and are bolting for summer. *YUCK* I am not ready to be hot yet!
You know, Mr. FG would love to move to Florida (or somewhere warm like Florida) and boy, the super long summers give me pause. I don't love winter, but gosh, I'm not sure I could take endless summer either.
We will have to be snowbirds or something when we retire. 😉
Ooh, what kind of humidifier do you have? We have the same problem and I'm not so happy with ours!
Around here the Canada geese have returned and they're pairing up; I see them standing guard over their nests near ponds and wetlands. I'm on the lookout for robins too! Won't be long now. <3
Ours is a Crane brand...Consumer Reports recommended it, I think. And I believe we got it at Target. It seems to work well, is easy to fill, and cleaning it isn't too bad either.
Thanks 🙂
My neighbor's lovely pink tulips are in bloom! And oh, how I love it when the clocks spring forward. Sheer happiness.
Mud in the parking lots here in VT - rubber boots are mandatory for any outing!
And this is promising because mud is caused by....melting snow!
The snow banks surrounding my drive-way are slowly starting to melt, so I can actually see the street when I am backing up now (I know, super safe.....). It`s coming, it`s coming!!!!!
We have this cherry tree in the neighborhood that goes into bloom several times a year, pretty much whenever the sun comes out and temperatures rise slightly above average, so I wouldn't consider it a reliable source. However, it is in full bloom right now, again, and since we're looking for straws, that might be a sign that spring is near in Virginia.
Its still cold here but i see my little plants pushing through the surface and it makes me so happy!!
Well, the pear tree skipped blooming and went straight to leafing out, the azaleas have already started blooming, the redbuds have bloomed, our dogwoods are white with blossoms -- and all that means to me is the HEAT is coming, fast. Kristen, you and your husband should vacation in Florida in July or August to see just how hot and humid it gets and stays for long, long months. Then add in love bugs each May and September splattered all over your cars (they stink when they get smashed), the mosquitos, which are already out in full force now, and the biting sand gnats and yellow flies.... And oh, yes, hurricanes and tornadoes. And outrageous A/C bills.
I think you may really decide to only come in the winter! It would be a good choice, in my opinion.
I thoroughly enjoyed putting away the fuzzy flannel sheets this week and welcoming back smooth, cool, woven sheets. Also, checking in on the Berry College Eagle Cam, (http://www.berry.edu/eaglecam/), is a fascinating distraction at this time of year when winter still has a hold in upstate NY. Two eaglets hatched last month and be observed in the nest 24/7. Two-four inches of snow coming tomorrow.......
The tulips we bought on our trip to Amsterdam last fall are just peeping up. Spring is coming!
Well, the foot of snow we got yesterday was heavy and wet, instead of light and fluffy, because the temperature is milder - and around here, that's the only sign of spring we're seeing! (Canada's Atlantic coast)
Really REALLY grasping 🙂
I too am in Atlantic Canada....my backyard garden is currently buried in 9 feet of snow and my front flower bed is under 20 feet of snow from the plows and we're supposed to get 20 more cm's of snow tomorrow night...no exaggeration on those numbers....so for a sign of spring, I would say it's the fact that the snow has melted enough that I can see the pavement on my driveway!
I hear you 🙂
We have had, for us here in S Texas, a fairly late spring, mainly because of all the RAIN. But I'm not really complaining, as we have had our share of drought, too, in the past. But we are most likely about to go straight to summer, which I could describe as identical to the Florida description above! A/C bills in the hundreds of dollars....
