Welcome, Spring
What is the official harbinger of the new season? When we lived in Michigan my Dad used to tell me to look for the “first Robin of spring” to mark the change of seasons. I see Robins in December around here, so that bit of folklore no longer applies. (Thanks, Global Warming.)
Is it the temperature? Nope. We had no-jackets-required weather in late January.
Is it the first bulbs claiming their sunshine?
Nah. Our bulbs start to sprout in late February, so they’re not reliable indicators.
In my household, Spring officially begins when Sumner strolls out to the back yard, pauses, then throws himself to the ground in a fit of bliss and flops around like a fish on dry land.
As of last week, he decreed that Spring has arrived in the DC metro area.
Welcome bask-able sunshine, nut-harvesting squirrels and new chipmunks to chase!
What does your dog do when Spring arrives? Leave a comment and tell me about it!
