I remember during highschool a couple signs that spring was quickly approaching: the first mosquito bite of the season, and the first 49¢ Thorton’s soda.
Out here in Washington, I’m thinking Spring is indicated by seeing the sun again (also known here as the “day-star”, often worshiped as a mythical being), after its 6 month absence. Also, you’ll notice you can go outside without getting wet.
don’t forget that all the pink cherry blossoms are in bloom now too! or you know it’s spring when allergies kick in… =(
do people out there really refer to it as the “day star” or did you make that up?
You won’t believe a bridge can float, but you’ll believe that an entire city calls the sun the “Day Star”.
