Last week I noticed a sure sign Spring is coming; Daffodils were poking through the snow where I had shoveled access for the oil delivery.

I admit, for me, January is one of the toughest months of the year. As a plant lover, I thrive on sunshine, and there is very little sunshine in January.

Luckily, by the time February rolls around the signs of spring returning start to show.

Signs of spring I’ve noticed over the years include:

• Daffodils poking through the snow.
• The sun shining later and brighter than in January.
• Falling snow is fluffier yet more sticky.
• The temperature rises to the mid 40’s more often.
• Mud, and lots of it, where the snow has melted.
• Birds singing more often, and a happier toon.
• I start singing more often, and a happier toon.

These poor Daffodils were literally growing under a foot of snow, as you can see below.

What are some of the signs of spring for you?
