Day Eighty-One: Signs of Spring

Although it wasn't bone chilling cold in Minnesota (it was actually quite pleasant, albeit a slightly chillier than here),  it was nice to come back to Lawrence and find spring in full force, both because it is now officially spring, and because the coat-less weather tells you that it is.  Apparently it was nice all weekend, and in the short amount of time I was out and about in Larry-ville today, I found several pockets of flowers like these blooming around town.  Hopefully spring is here to stay and more and more of these delightful daffodils, along with tulips and gardenias and every other fragrant, colorful indications of warm weather goodness will soon pop up.

If the blustery winds and predictions of showers (and thunder showers! yippie!) are any indication, it will not be long until everyday is (at least) in the 60s.  April will be coming soon before you know it, but April's showers bring even more flowers in May!  What do May flowers bring?  An official shout out to anyone who correctly answers that riddle. :)
