The signs that Spring is coming are starting to show up everywhere.
Sidewalk Chalk art is making appearances on driveways and walkways around town.
Blue Skies, Green Leaves, Vibrant Colors and Buzzing Bees all signs that Spring is breaking through, dusting off her flip flops and getting ready to don her crown of flowers and wave her wand that will wipe away the last vestiges of the dreary grey, cold winter and usher in the warm colors, sounds and smells of Spring.
Last, but not least, kids dressed in Sunday Best waiting to see the Easter Bunny.
What are your favorite signs of Spring?
Don’t forget… Sunday is Daylight Savings.. Time to “Spring Forward” one hour!
For me, it’s when the crocus and daffodils start poking up in my front yard. It may be rainy here today, but the sunshine the last couple days have started the budding process and that tiny glimpse of purple and yellow is so cheering. Bring it on! 🙂

YAY! I love Crocuses! I’d definitely take some more rain here but, the sunshine and warm afternoons have been lovely, too!
Love these shots!
The thing that makes my heart swell is seeing little green buds on trees and green sprouts pushing through the ground, beating back the soil that imprisoned them all winter!
Yes, yes yes! Lotus, you have such a way words and imagery.

Beautiful pictures. I love the flowers. Seeing everything in bloom and all the baby animals makes me think of Spring. And all the Easter stuff coming out screams spring for me.

OOOH Baby Animals, yes! 🙂
Every time I go into Hobby Lobby and see all the Easter Stuff it makes me want to decorate 🙂
Tulips, definitely tulips. I have a few that have pushed through. When Spring really hits – they are EVERYWHERE in STL. It is my favorite. Love the picture of the chalk 🙂

Thanks, D 🙂 I love taking pictures of kids things.
Tulips are so beautiful. For me it really is the flowers and especially the bluebonnets!
Such pretty flowers. I can’t wait to see some of those!!
*coughcomebacktotexascough*
ZOMG he’s too precious! Do you rent him out?
.-= amy2boys´s most recent blog ..Morning Commute =-.
Absolutely! I”ll pack his bag and send him right over 😉 He’s not too young to travel alone to Nashville, right? (giggle)
He and Bear would have SO much fun together!
For me it’s when the snow melts and I can see lawn again… it’s brown lawn after months under the snow, but LAWN! I SEE LAWN!
.-= Sarah´s most recent blog ..Thursday Ten: I’m Not Wearing a Coat Edition =-.
Snow? What is this snow you speak of, Sarah?
Half our yard is green and half is brown.. it’s kind of weird but, the fact that there’s some green is a definite sign of Spring!
Oh. My. Goodness! I love the look on his face! Priceless. 🙂

I didn’t even pose him 😉 He just sat down and I was framing up the shot for the school Easter Pics and HAD to snap him 😉 He’s such a ham!
I can’t wait for the bluebonnets and other wildflowers to start popping up. Springtime in Texas is the best!

We’ve already got some bluebonnets along the highway and it makes me SO happy!!! I’m going to drive the kids towards San Antonio next week and find a patch of them and do pics!!!
LOVE Texas springs! (summer, not so much) 😉
I can smell the photos in this post and it makes me miss Memphis…Chicago is still a few weeks away from flowers and greenery. That said, the heat is off and the cat is clearly in the midst of Spring fever. Waking up to sunshine is heavenly.
Also…how handsome is N in his madras?!
BRRR Jessi 🙂 I’m glad that the heat is at least off, that’s something, right?
🙂 That’s a HUGE compliment, thank you.
I know, right 😉 He LOVES those shorts and picked them out himself! (Thank you, Old Navy!!! They have the CUTEST little boy shorts this season)
He wants to wear them every. single. day. with boots, even.
love the picture of your little guy – adorable
For us in cold MN, it feels like Spring anytime the temp is above 45. Actually, we still have a mix of snow and slush on our lawn … it’s been raining now for days and that’s taken some of it away … so much so that we’ve discovered the kids left some rakes in the leaves that eventually got snowed on – AHA! there they are! oh well
.-= Mela Kamin´s most recent blog ..Olympics – who are you cheering for? =-.
Ha Ha HA Ha HA! I love it! Rakes that spent a winter under the snow.. that sounds like a children’s story a good blog post, at least 😉
Thank you, I think he’s pretty adorable 😉
He is just cutest little thing. I can tell it’s spring because it’s so FRIGGIN HUMID. Hatehatehate.
.-= Maria´s most recent blog ..Vlog: WARNING! My boyfriend makes me giggly! =-.
Thank you, Maria <3
I HATE humidity, HATE IT. So far (watch me jinx us) we haven't had it too bad.
Is that purple plant mountain laurel? It was all over at my college and I love how it smelled.
I just noticed that some of our bulbs have started blooming….yay for spring.
.-= Krystyn´s most recent blog ..Cinnabon Cupcake Review and Giveaway =-.
It IS Mountain Laurel, I LOVE Mountain Laurel. My whole front of the house smells amazing when that tree/bush blooms. I wish we had a whole yard full of them 🙂
YAY spring!
I love your photo of sidewalk chalk. That is one of my favorite signs of spring… my girls LOVE it.
And what an adorable photo of your little boy!!!!
.-= Susan (5 Minutes For Mom)´s most recent blog ..My Heart is at the Vet’s Tonight… =-.
Thank you, Miss Sue 😉 I adore Sidewalk chalk and I was pretty much on the ground taking that shot with my father in law giving me a strange look 😉 😉
Thanks, 😉 I think he’s purty darlin’!
Definitely has to be the dogwoods in bloom! There’s this one street that almost makes a canopy of the street with dogwoods. But, the first sign is the daffodils. Love it!
I bet that is amazing! I love Dogwoods but, we don’t have them down here. I hope you take a pic this year of the dogwood canopy!
The puddles everywhere from the melting snow are a sure sign of spring, also when it hits 50 here and everyone breaks out their capris and flip flops and blinds us with their white legs and feet (well except for me, I am still in layers and people look at me like I am a freak)
.-= Domestic Extraordinaire´s most recent blog ..Flashback Friday-The Closet Edition =-.
HA HA! You silly girl 😉 Yes, someone made a comment the other day about white feet and legs 🙂
I bet you’re getting some amazing photos of the budding spring!
Monkey is so incredibly cute! What a heartbreaker!
.-= Tara R.´s most recent blog ..It’s official… winter is over! =-.
I love the daffodils that come up. Ours are blooming right now and they are so cute!
.-= Candi @ Family Stamping and FOOD!´s most recent blog ..OAMC: Completed for March =-.
Daffodils are so pretty! I love reading about everyone’s favorite signs of spring.
You know, it’s kind of hard to say… It stays fairly green down here through the winter, just not nearly as pretty somehow. I love the different smell and the fact that the shade of green gets so bright!
.-= Krissa´s most recent blog ..HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME! ok, and john, too. =-.
I know what you mean, Spring seems to have a sort of re-birth of vibrant colors and smells! Love it.
Love this post! It’s definitely time to bring out the sidewalk chalk.
I love the smell of fresh cut grass, and just the wonderful WARMTH!
Oh YES! The smell of a freshly mown lawn!! YUM. That’s definitely a ‘warm’ smell! Bring on the Spring!
We spotted a bunch of robins in the yard recently! Despite the incessant rain, we are all looking forward to Spring 🙂
.-= Momisodes´s most recent blog ..Hip to be a dude =-.
Don’t they say that “April Showers bring May Flowers” So, if y’all are having rain now.. maybe you’re in for a blooming spring!!!

I live in Arizona, where it’s been spring since January and summer is around the corner. Lame. I am loving that child’s outfit though, right down to the flip flops. So preppy and adorable!
.-= Miss M!´s most recent blog ..Make Your Own Monogrammed Note Cards =-.
Wow! Since, January! We don’t really have much of a winter down here in South Texas but, we don’t get things in bloom the whole time either.
Thanks 🙂 He loves that outfit and wants to wear it all the time! I think he and it are pretty darlin’
Love these photos!
