Spring is here!

Living in Amish country there a few ways that you can tell that spring is coming.

1. You start seeing the tractor's in fields

2. People start flocking to the greenhouses to buy plants for the gardens

3. You start seeing people out in their yards raking and you can tell they have been struck by spring fever like my husband was last night.

4. It stays lighter out at night and people still complain about day light savings time! ;)

5. Last but not least......when driving in the country you see clothes hanging out on the line!

A normal part of living in the country and the Midwest for me was hanging laundry on the line. Honestly, I didn't even realize that people thought it wasn't normal or that it was a hassle for that matter. It's just something that my family grew up doing and something that I now enjoy doing myself. It reminds me that the weather is getting warmer. I love watching the wind whip the towels around and I love the smell of fresh air when I bring the clothes in from the line!

Today was the first the day that I hung wash out for the season! I'm not going to lie, I was pretty excited! Every year I'm pretty stoked about the first time I get to hang out the wash! Some people get excited when they see the first robin but for me it's the first time I get the hang the laundry out for the season. Thats how I measure spring is here! As I was hanging the towels up I was greeted by our 3 outside cats. It didn't take them long before these feisty cats noticed the towels blowing in the wind. I quick ran back inside to snap a pictures of what calico cat decided to do. Crazy cat!!!

Even tho I'm not a cat fan this still made me giggle! I'm so happy spring is here!
