Hints of Spring in Indiana


Spring is in the air in the Midwest and little hints of it are everywhere. For instance, windows are open to catch the first warm(er) breeze, grills are being prepped for the season, wedding invitations are starting to arrive, and new growth is developing on plants. Another sign of spring (not shown in the above collage) is the blooming of high school "love." Lady Lust has hit the high school where I teach and countless amounts of germs are being spread like wildfire. Apparently there has been an epidemic of hickeys hitting the 14-18 year olds of the nation, and the marks are displayed with pride (a battle wounds of sorts since "love is a battlefield"). Ah - sweet germy pubescent romance! While I doubt hickey season is in the Farmer's Almanac, it's the only true indicator I know of that shows spring is just around the corner.

Spring is natures way of saying,
"Lets Party!"
