Is it Spring yet?

I'm hearing a Cardinal outside just singing up a storm!   In the past few days I've heard the chirps and singing of Robins too...what a nice reminder that Spring isn't too far away. 

 In my class at school, the kids were busy building with legos and one happened to notice a ladybug just crawling around the table.   They screamed, Miss. Mary!, there's a bug over here, come quick!!   As I walked up to the table, and offered my hand to the little bug...the kids just looked at me...how can you let a bug crawl around on your hand?  Oh, I don't mind at all..  this one little girl was actually frightened of this little creature..she kept saying....don't ladybugs bite?   They don't bite I said.  They are a gardener's friend.   They eat the harmful bugs that try to destroy plants.   She wasn't convinced.    :)

I enjoy my work with the kids.   They are a lot of fun. 

Is it Spring yet, at your house?
