[SquarePeg36 7]

For this week’s challenge, post photos of signs of Spring. Flowers, trees, animals, birds, grass, road construction, pollen, sports, kids at play... what signs of spring are in your area?

Darn - we had Spring on Monday and Tuesday; we're into full-blown Summer, now (90 degrees).

We have apples!!!!! Silly I guess to be excited over apples on our trees, but we've been barren for two years straight. One year I pruned them a little hard, then added fertilizer, so basically all I got was leaves and branches, and one year they were covered in blooms, when a hard freeze hit.

Some of the signs of spring around here are baby ducks, baby calves and baby ....... onions? Okay, so the onions kind of lost the cuteness factor of the ducks and calves, but they're certainly a sign of spring around here.

Took this picture of my son pitching in a game recently. This is his senior year. Going to miss these days like crazy.

Considering the price of corn the last couple years, we may have to start looking at alternatives

The killdeer come back in early spring. When mom starts doing this 'wounded' dance to lure you away it's a for-sure sign that spring is here and there's a nest nearby.

Looks like these two had just hatched and one to go.

By the time I finished this morning's irrigation run and came back, the nest was three for three.

With spring comes little critters.

First up are a few Aphids on a Dandelion bud.

Next up is a Crane Fly who really wanted to come inside the house.
