As I said in previous posts, here have been many signs of early spring in the Pacific Northwest. Now it is regular spring time and there of signs that tell me so. |
Now the traditional signs of spring are upon us.
The weather folks have reminded us of the spring equinox, that daytime is increasing most quickly, etc. A few weeks ago, at least one of the TV talking heads said we would get more daylight when we set the clocks ahead. Every intelligent person knows we don’t get more daylight; it is just shifted by law. Of course there are the natural signs of spring, buds on trees, dandelions showing their faces, etc.
Ski resorts are lamenting about having to end the season early. Schools are on spring break and spring break venues advertise special rates, but some increase their regular rates before giving specials.
I remember when the time of spring break changed every year. It could start as early as the Saturday before March 22 and as late as the Saturday before April 25. We called Easter vacation and many schools ended at noon for Good Friday.
Lawn service has started and flyers in the mail or hooked on doorknobs are trying to convince those who do not have lawn service that they need it. Friends of a certain age talk about wishing they could hire a teenager to do their lawn mowing like when they hired out as kid.1Oh the discussions that leads to.
I’ve seen the real sign of spring.
People are pulling their trailer or RV to the driveway, washing the winter grime away, and packing to leave for their first outing of the season.
