What signs of spring have you noticed around you lately?
April 23, 2025 | Sparkle Wednesday
It’s officially feeling like spring here in Minneapolis. Today—Tuesday—it’s sunny and 68 degrees. I’ve got the windows open up in my perch, and the breeze makes it feel like I’m working outside.
I woke before 5 a.m. to a chorus of birds singing—what a beautiful way to start the day. I didn’t get up right away; I just lay there, half-awake, dozing and listening, letting the sound wrap around me.
Later, on my lunchtime walk, I noticed the crocuses had begun to bloom—those perky little blue-violet flowers pushing up through the earth. Spring is here!
There are so many signs of spring emerging: the air smells fresher, the light lingers longer, and my favorite—the leaves on the weeping willow tree by the lake have turned the most vibrant shade of green.
What signs of spring are showing up in your world?
Bluebells! Bunnies everywhere! My post-work walk is full of sunshine! I've been listening to some of my favorite Spring albums/artists...here's a few: Morning Phase by Beck, Grateful Dead, and It's Never Been Like That by Phoenix :)
Beautiful pictures!
