Signs of spring

It has been a long winter.  So what are some signs of spring?  For me it would be taking the plastic off of my windows down on my porch.  Then there is the return of my parents from the south, it is always good to have them back home.  I know that it is spring when I see kids arriving at school in shorts and a t-shirt when the projected high temp is above 50 degrees.  I know that I am tired of my winter clothes when I start digging out my cropped pants to wear to school.  The final sign of spring... bringing out the deck furniture so that I can sit out on my deck to enjoy the warm weather.  I also love going out to my car in the morning and hearing the birds singing.  Bring on the warm spring weather and may the flowers start blooming soon.
