The Geese Are Here, The Geese Are Here!

I know it is spring now.  When I went out to feed the outdoor cats and fill up the indoor cat buckets, I heard them.  It was only a few, but I heard the Canadian Geese.  That is a sure sign of spring!

Yesterday my husband saw a Cardinal at the bird bath.  That is another sure sign that spring is here.

I have also heard that rat-tat-tat-tat of the woodpeckers finding food in the trees.  Those drive me nuts because they are very early risers.  I guess the saying is true, at least for them...the early bird catches the worm.

My hyacinths are popping out of the ground and soon my daffodils will be too.  We have leafe buds on our lilac bushes too.  I love spring!  We are getting lsome of that liquid sunshine this morning and by afternoon it will be just cloudy with some sun peaking through and it will be warm.  I will give this house a breath of fresh air and open the windows, completing my Spring Cleaning.

For the last couple of days I have also been cleaning this house and moving furniture around and I am very tired today.  While doing the bedroom and moving the furniture around in there I thik that we found another Duke and his fur was all over everything. and stuck to everything and everywhere.  He will get a good brushing today too.

I also am going to be making something in the crock pot for dinner and making a banana bread for breakfast the rest of the week.

Today I am going to relax and we are going to stroll through the Martinsburg Mall where they are having their Home Show.

Have you seen or heard signs of spring?

Spring Cleaning and such!

Spring is here and I now it.  The air doesn't though, but the sun does.The air is chilly and in the early Spring it is the old turn the heat on in the morning and turn it off and open the windows in the afternoon.  So the sun is out this morning but it is only 34 degrees right now.  It is going to be getting up into the mid-50's today.  WooooHoooo!

Yesterday my husband was raking the old dead leaves from the gardens and we found some hyacinths popping up out of the ground.  He was going to leave them bare but then I heard on the weather that it was going to below freezing and he had to cover them up again.  We also have some leaf buds on our lilacs bush.

For some odd reason, well maybe not too odd.  I changed the office furniture around last night.  That was started after I cleaned the kitchen floor really good.  That was what started the spring cleaning.  Well actually Charlie the cat started it all when he pulled the water dish across the floor and it got all wet.  I did not have a choice but to mop the floors and clean the standing mats in front of the stove and sink.  That starts me to be akin to a tornado, only it isn't destructive, it is productive.

The bedroom is next tonight.  I have wanted to change it around for weeks and now that I got all this energy we are going to do it tonight, while I still have that energy.  I could do it by myself but there are no handles on the mattress for me to pull it off the bed.  I do not know why they choose not to put them on the mattresses anymore.

I hope that your Spring is going great.  I know the northeast will get another round of snow and that is too bad.  They had had their share this year.  Ohio isn't looking much better with all the ice from the major rivers breaking off and going do stream.  Flooding galore there in those towns.  Not good.

Have a Great Day!
