When I see a robin hopping around, I know Spring has finally sprung.
I also know for certain that Spring has arrived when the Spring Peepers start singing behind our home at night! They are not the cutest little frogs in the world, but they sure know how to sound like a choir in the evening! I just love listening to them.
Do you know these little guys are only about an inch and a half in length? That's about the size of a paper clip! Spring Peepers are to the amphibian world what Robins are to the bird world. As their name implies, they begin emitting their sleigh-bell-like chorus right around the beginning of Spring. Here on the Island, it is more like mid-April before we hear them.
Yesterday, after I brought the clothes in off the line, a beautiful male Gold Finch flew to the clothes line. I was thrilled! Hubby has changed from his uniform pants to shorts on warmer days; this is also the sign that Spring is here! These are truly the signs that Spring has arrived on PEI and I'm one happy gal! Have a wonderful day everyone!

We have actually buds on the trees here in Vermont. I can't wait for leaves! Great feeling, isn't it?

I am always sad it fades so quickly around here we don't have cold but we have heat.
Congratulations on the arrival of the goldfinch to remind you that spring is on its way.I loved all your pictures.
WOW, did you take those photos? If so they are great, if not they are still great. I love Spring and nature and all GODS creatures. Did you see the new movie Earth? It was truly incredible. If not, check it out when you can. You will love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the touch of spring photos.

ReplyDeleteHi Sandi,
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when these signs begin to appear, I love to hear the peepers by the pond while sitting on the porch at night, God is so good He sends all of these small blessings our way everyday. Thank you for sharing.
Blessings,

Isn't spring wonderful?! Your photos were amazing of your spring signs on your island! I, too, am always so eager to see and hear the return of the songbirds...especially Jenny and Timmy Wren. Their song just makes me swoon!
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day!
