Surest sign of spring

Right now, spring is everywhere. The plum trees are blossoming, the birds are singing, the grass is greening up. We've even had a couple of days with temperatures above 70F! (Those won't last; we're slumping back into the 60s and 50s later in the week.)

But the surest sign of spring?

I can finally hang our flannel sheets outside to dry after washing.

Don and I use flannel sheets for all but the hottest summer months. I drape them over the drying racks indoors in winter, but it's always much nicer to hang them to dry in the fresh air and sunshine.

Yep, it must be spring.
