Signs of Springtime at Our House

 

Robins

 

 

Carolina wrens singing at the top of their lungs

 

 

Coconut and peanut butter Easter eggs from my sister

 

 

 

  

Spring flowers in full bloom

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

  

The scent of hyacinth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apricot buds…

 

 

…and blossoms

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m not sure that the moon is a sign of spring, but it was so noticeable in the clear, blue, sky the other morning.

 

Then one morning, just before sunrise, it was bright orange. 

I checked the Internet to see why a moon appears to be orange:  The orange or red color of the Moon is due to a filtering effect caused by particles in the Earth’s atmosphere, because it is reflected light from the Sun.
