sure signs of springtime

It was raining Monday night when I noticed something moving on the sidewalk. A toad! A sure sign of spring.

Today I saw a butterfly. Definitely springlike this afternoon.

Pedro Martinez the oft injured New York Mets pitcher started his first game of the season the other day and quickly left the game with an injury. Spring is here!

David Ortiz the Boston Red Sox slugger crushed his first home run of the season this afternoon in Oakland. Ah, spring.

The Big Read is underway! The featured book is FUNNY IN FARSI by Firoozeh Dumas. I’m reading the sequel, LAUGHING WITHOUT AN ACCENT. It must be spring….

How can you tell it is spring? The first dandelion? The robins? Bock beer?

What are the signs that you watch for to know that spring has sprung?
