It's That Time of Year Again ...

Do you know how I know Spring is soon arriving? It is not the buds that are popping out on the trees or from the ground. It is not the rise in temperature. It is not the fact that the sweatshirts need to be packed away and the short sleeve shirts washed up. No, it is the fact that while doing laundry this morning, I lifted my son's jeans from the hamper and soon a pile of sand was slowly pouring from each pocket, fold, and crease and landing on my bathroom floor. That is how I know it is Spring.
