I am sooooooo ready for spring!! We are more than halfway through winter, and around here we've got about six more weeks of winter, give or take a few (no matter what the groundhog says LOL).

So, I was thinking of what I look for as spring arrives. I know all the normal signs of spring - the robins coming back, the first crocus, seeing the new sprigs of green grass. But anyone who farms, even with just a few critters in the backyard, has their own 'signs of spring'. Here's a couple of mine, I'll know spring is coming when:

Enough snow melts that I can open the pasture gates in *both* directions.

The huge pile of ice (from chipping it out of frozen water buckets) melts.

What are your 'signs of spring'?
