Top 7 Signs Of Spring

Below is a list of things that will help you know when Spring has really sprung. In case you need help.

7. Gas prices go up. Went from $1.98 to $2.50 in less than three months.

6. The weather starts to warm up. We've had some upper 70's, but it could get near 90 on Monday.

5. Thunderstorms. Depending on what part of the country you live in. But, I've already talked about those.

4. Cookouts. I've already had three so far. Love a good grilled burger with some oregano and Mrs. Dash. Yum.

3. Everything turns green. With all the rain we've had over the past two days alone, things really busted out. Also, when we had those bad ice storms I said that I thought my hedge had bit the dust. It didn't. It exploded a couple of weeks ago with new growth.

2. Allergies. Mine haven't hit, yet. Nor has my dog's.

1. Mowing the lawn. Which I got to do today. Woo-hoo. Nothing like the smell of gas on your hands and frayed nerves because the damn mower won't start. Apparently I hadn't primed it enough to get the gas flowing through the carb.
