There are a lot of things I look forward to every year. Like the start of daylight saving time and the first pitch of a new baseball season. Those two things have already happened. But another thing I really can't wait to see is new growth emerging from what had been similar to frozen tundra for months. And that just happened in my back yard!

While my twin boys were playing in the back yard this past Friday, April 4, I decided to take a peek under the old dead plants that make up our landscaping. Lo and behold, I was surprised to see some new green vegetation poking up through ground. I hope you can see those little green blades on the picture.

There's still a chance for rain and snow coming our way this Thursday and Friday, the 10th and 11th, so spring isn't here to stay just yet, but signs are showing that it will be soon!
