spring, spring, spring!

Signs of spring are in the air here in Denver!! I am going to ignore the fact that on the news this morning they were talking about snow, mostly because there is no way that I want to deal with anymore of this pesky, winter-y, grossness, especially when it involves me scooting around with a million layers on. In any case, last year I saw spring coming in plants just popping out of the soil. This year I haven't spotted any plants just yet, so spring is showing itself in different ways. And so, I present to you some signs of spring:

Towels hanging dry on the line.

An empty (hopefully soon to be filled) strawberry planter!

And a puppy who has been taking two baths a day; one in the muddy backyard and one in the bathtub.

spring is springing!!

Even though we did just have some snow flurries last night, I have gathered some proof that we are finally rounding the bend here! With Colorado though you never know...mostly I thought Nora would enjoy these pictures because she is a true lover of all things springy and blooming and needs to see that soon both of these things will be in abundance, even in Minnesota. I've always wanted to live in a place long enough to plant bulbs in the fall and see them come up in the spring, but I am enjoying the little sprouts all over the neighborhood and that's enough for now.

Everything is peeking out all over the place! Greens..

...yellows...

..and a little purple reaching towards the sun.
