Signs of spring

If you're lucky enough to be in parts of the country not covered in snow, I hope you've enjoyed one of those incredible, life-affirming spring weeks.

This is the time of year when neighbours come out of their houses and say hello to one another, children reclaim their playgrounds, and parents enjoy nice stroller walks to the coffee shop without the tedium of snow pants and boots.

In celebration of all things spring, thought I'd share a few of my own signs of the season.

And here are a couple of pics contributed by my friend, Kelly Smyth, a photographer and mom of three always on top of capturing seasonal fun.
