Signs of Spring Post # 11

Around my house and in my fridge

I saw a lot of signs of spring this week. One is that the weather has been really hot the past few days. It is 70 degrees right now and the sun already set. The sunset tonight was at about 8:10 PM. Another sign of spring is a sad one. According to my neighbor, every twelve to fifteen years, there is a spring crime spree and I was a victim. I was robbed on Friday. Another happier sign, is that my pool was opened today. It is a sign, because I open my pool every year around this time.

The other signs I saw this week were in my fridge. One was that my mom bought watermelon for the first time this spring. It is a sign because it is seasonal and I associate it with spring. Another sign is, that my mom bought corn on the cob for the first time this year. It is a sign for the same reasons as watermelon. Those are all the signs of spring I saw this week.

 I saw a few signs of spring this week. One sign is in my karate class we are now able to were tee-shirts, as of yesterday. It is a sign for me because I associate tee-shirts with spring and summer and I start wearing tee-shirts without a sweat shirt in the spring, so anything tee-shirt related is a sign of spring for me. Another sign of spring is that sunset last night was at about 8:00 PM. That is a landmark time because 8:00 PM is what time I think of for sunset in the spring. Also, for the month of May,there has been consistent 70s and 80s for the weather.

Mothers' Day is another sign of spring. It was it last Sunday. It is because two of the first things I think of when you say it are spring and flowers, which are associated with spring. Also, mothers get flowers. A final sign is that MCAS is over. That is a sign of spring because it happens every spring. Those are all of my signs of spring for this week.

I saw quite a few signs of spring the past week. One was the sunset tonight was at about 7:50 PM. Last week it was at about 7:45 PM. Also, the weather has been consistently warm. The past three days it has hit 80 degrees. Third, walk to school day was today. THat is a sign because there is one in the fall and one in the spring.

I've noticed there has been a ton of pollen around lately. It's made me have wicked bad allergies. I consider it a sign of spring, because I think of allergies as a spring thing. Also, I have seen a lot flowers lately. Almost everything has bloomed. It is just in time for Mother's Day. Third, I saw a robin's egg. That is a sign because I haven't seen any eggs or many nests so far this year. Those are all my signs of spring for this week.
