Spring Fever with "The Crew"

Signs of "Spring" are coming our way out on the range. When I was chatting with my mom back in Ontario, she said her tulips were already in full bloom! 


Out in Raven, AB, here are the "Top 14" signs that "The Crew" takes notice of when spring is trying hard to shine our way. 

Sign Number 1: The scent of fresh "Spring" air - happy, shiny smiles are very important.

Sign Number 2: Detecting the presence of "green visitors" in your doggy pool.

Sign Number 3: When you can make friends with "Kermit" Spring is on its way!

Sign Number 4: Noticing that the dirt in the planter is no longer frozen.

Sign number 5: Being able to drink water from your pool in the morning that is thawed and no longer a huge ice cube.

Sign Number 6: Noticing the presence of your driveway.

Sign Number 7: Being alert to those pesky field mice slumbering in the leftover snow drifts

Sign Number 8: Getting the sense that more barbeques will be in the mix.

Sign Number 9: Checking the planter to ensure that the dirt is still thawed.
