Local Signs of Spring

[JohnnyO]

Just in a not too serious vein, for me the first sign of springtime locally is the indefatigable tramp of oncoming Jehovah's Witnesses and Missionary Elders of the Mormon Church. During our inclement west of Scotland winters we are blessedly free of such unwanted callers, however as the evenings lighten and the rain warms they are out and about on their house calls.

What local event or practise lets you know that Spring has Sprung ?

JohnnyO. :huh:/

For me, it's the wild garlic ... I can see it from about early March, but when I can smell it I know spring has sprung ... although it's just been snowing, so I guess spring has yet to spring

Having to look for the cats outside and needing to brush their coats.

Eating lunch mid-afternoon and supper just before the 9 o'clock news.

Crocuses springing up at the local park and dog's pissing on them.

The maidens of my squire replacing their cheap copies of Ugg boots with cheap copies of Crocs.

Hedgerows showing that vibrant green colour instead of the previous week's dark grey.

Local women walking around looking like 10lb of shit in a 5lb bag.

Our ground is still frozen and we could get some snow before mid-April...so much for Spring. Perhaps when I'm able to take the winter tyres off the cars, I'll feel that Spring has sprung.

We had an inch of snow Saturday night and more is forecast for tomorrow...so much for Spring.:huh: It's a good thing I still have the winter tyres on the cars. One of these days I'll be able to get the Z4 out of storage and go cruising.:icon_razz:
