It is Really, Really Warm out!

Around my house and on the route home from school

The first sign of spring I saw this week was the insanely warm weather. According to my dad's car thermometer, the tempeture hit 66 degrees F! It has been sunny and never dropped below 50 degrees F during the day in the past three days.

A bank thermometer reading 52 degrees F

Also, because of the warm weather, it was the first time since fall that we went outside during lunch. That to me is a big landmark of spring. I also walked home for the first time since fall today. A third first was, I walked home in only a t-shirt, not wearing a jacket. Another sign was, that sunset was not until 5:45 PM. Last post, sunset was at 5:30 PM. Also, there was a layer of ice covering my pool cover, but as of today it is 90% melted. The final sign of spring I heard was birds every morning and night at sunrise and sunset. Those are all of my signs of spring this time.
