Spring

Spring arrives this week, and we hope spring weather will be here as well, and now that the long winter is almost over, I just wanted to remind you of three good reasons to say goodbye to winter.

If you have been struggling with sniffling and sneezing from seasonal allergies, you won't be happy to hear that the worst is upon us right now.

Ah, Spring is finally here: trees are turning green, flowers are in bloom, and birds are singing... Sounds great...until the birds turn into the neighbors from hell.

It's that time of year again. The flowers are beginning to bloom, the birds are chirping, the temperatures are going up along with the energy level of many of our children.

I know it's a little early, but I couldn't help it. That weather Saturday had me thinking spring and thinking flowers. I spent the whole first half of the day in the yard planting a little springtime.

Snow, cold rain, and freezing temperatures are not what we normally associate with spring, but even though it has been spring in the Garden State for over a week, the weather outside is anything but.

I'm no meteorologist, I'm not even a groundhog, but I'm pretty sure I'm seeing signs of spring. It's not scientific. It's not even related to the weather, but it makes me feel good.

Yesterday, the sun was shining, children were riding their bikes, birds were chirping and the Jersey shore was buzzing with that beautiful day feeling that only happens around here. At least that's what I was told.

Back on February 2nd, a little groundhog you may have heard of was pulled from a hole in the ground in Pennsylvania and asked to predict when spring would arrive. Boy was he wrong.

It seems like we just changed the clocks, but it's time to change them again...which means Spring really is just around the corner!

I know it's still February and we're not out of the winter woods yet, but this weather certainly has me, and many others, thinking about spring. I love it because nothing's better than nice weather at the Jersey Shore, and it means summer is right around the corner. For me, the first sign of spring is the Belmar St. Patrick's Day Parade. I know it's not the official start, but it works for me! Re
