The First Day of Spring

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring!  Yipee!

 And, in honor of the first day of Spring, I shall do what I always do on the first day of Spring.

I will walk through the yard and look for green things poking up through the damp ground.

I will try to stand some eggs upright on my kitchen counter.

I will dream about my garden.

I will begin to make out my list of things that need doing outside.

I will thank God for the changing seasons and rejoice in His creation.

I will look forward to flowers and butterflies.

I will buy a bouquet of spring flowers for the dining room table. 

I will take my dogs for a walk and notice all the signs of spring in my neighborhood.

I will sweep the maple buds that have dropped on the driveway. 

 I will think of Christ's resurrection and the promise of Heaven.

Uh, oh!  I think I'm doing it already!

I like the idea of buying some flowers for the dining room table. I think I'm going to do that, too.

Hmm... why is it exactly today? I mean the first day of Spring? I mean... I'm curious! My kids keep asking me "is it Spring now?" "When is it Summer?" and I keep telling them it's not a definite date when a season changes into another - but seems I'm wrong?

It sure feels like Spring. Even here! And for Thursday and Friday they promised +8...+9 C !!!

What a serene way to welcome in the new season. I love your ideas and your tradition for the first day of spring.
