Signs of Spring



Life has event cycles and this time of year, when the temperatures are hanging around the 30's and the snow level on the deck is melting away your mind goes to the thought that we made it through another Alaskan winter. You know you are on the verge of spring when it is daylight as you walk your child to the bus stop, Bagoys has their Tulip sale, the easter egg hunt you are hosting is in its final stages, Home Depot is putting out their patio furniture and you wake up thinking maybe today I will pull out the shorts. Now that is a great way to wake up.
Other signs of Spring
(good topic to ask clients)
The remodel show and parade of homes occur
The lovely smell of mud and mushed animal "gifts" fills the air
People start walking the bike paths and bikes come out
The BBQ cover comes off
People go skiing and come home with a great tan (or burn)
Kids get the all clear not to wear snowgear to school
Uncle Tim brings the boat home, because he cannot use the snowmachines anymore to get to the cabin (snowmachine in the river = bad)
