ITS ALMOST SRING!!/ 4th SOS

I think this weeks SOS of spring was the easiest so far because there are only three more days till the exact day that spring starts.This week my SOS is flowers budding a duck,and  a bird's nest.A flower budding is a sign of spring becuae every year the yard is always blooming with flowers,and to me flower makes things pretty.Also in my opioin  spring is the most beautiful season when  flowers are blooming.Also last week I drove by my old house and every year near april or may tulips and other flowers are blooming,and noticed it blooming when I drove by.As you can see in the picture some buds are starting up;which is a good sign because its not even spring yet!Another SOS of spring is allanimals are coming out in the open.As you can see in this picture there are two ducks swimming in a lake.This reminds me of spring becuae a couple years ago we always used to go swimming in the lake and there would be ducks too.In my opinion ducks and other birds and animals tie together what everybody always looks for when spring is coming/here.My last example of SOS is a birds nest.Some people might think oh another birds nest,i see those all the time there not special,but htey are its helps birds of all sizes make spring a beautiful time of year.

The 3rd SOS journal entry/Its getting Warmer!!

Spring is getting closer and closer,and the last few days have felt like its spring.My example is the tempeture.As you can see in these pictures of thermometers over the weekend the tempeture was in the fifties.Some people might think thats cold(older fellows)but compared that its not even the first official day of spring,I think its defently warm.The tempeture also has to do with the snow melting.As you can see in the other picture below a sheet of ice/snow used to cover the whloe top of the pool cover.Over the weekend I took a picture of it and its almost completly gone.This happens because the sun has been out so much that its melting the snow and ice.

 
 
 
 
 

Another sign of spring that has to do with the beautiful weather and tempeture is was the first time since fall that we went outside during lunch. That to me is a big sign that spring is coming. I also walked home for the first time since fall today I walked home in only a t-shirt, not wearing a jacket.Another personal sign of sring is getting  my cleaets last weekend foe softball.I always get my cleats a few weeks before softball season.That means its just around the corner!

Tufted Titmouse

When I was going to the Woburn mall on saturday,I saw a bird in the bushes.Then later I looked at Mr.Williams science blog,and it looked like the Tufted Titmouse.I don't know if they live in New England all year round or flew hear,but this is a sign of spring to me.It's a sign of spring because some birds you see all year rond in bird feeders or n trees,but some travel south for the winter then come back when it gets warm.This is a sign that the air getting warmer.This is a picture I saw on the 20th of Feb.

SOS journal entry #2

Since it has been a few weeks since the last SOS journal I wrote;for me there has been a lot more signs of spring,for many reasons because its getting closer and closer to spring and in the last few weeks a lot of nature and non - nature has been changing.As you can see in the picture below little trees and bushes are coming out of the ground.This is happening becauseits the time of year the roots of little trees and bushes start forming and coming up out of the ground and I think it's because of the sun and different weather.This is also a personal sign of spring because as you can see in the other picture some of the skiing patches of the slop are  bare, and it doesn't have as much snow on it because the sun has been out almost every day and its melting the snow.This is a bad and good thing for me,its bad becuae it means I can only go skiing for a couple weeks;uless we got more snow!It's a good thing becuae it means its almost softball season and that is also one of my favorite sports.Also winter is my least favorite season , because its cold.

The days are getting shorter!

Another example how spring is changing is the days are getting shorter.I know this because during the week I went outside at 5:00 and the sun was already setting,as you can see in this picture.

One of the changes of spring I noticed in the last week was animal tracks.As you can see in these pictures these are tracks of bunnies that I saw in my friends yard.They live under her shed.This is a change of spring because animals like bunnies hybronate during the winter,and they store up all their food so they don't have to go outside.Now since the sun is coming out and the snow is melting;it's warm enough for the animals to come out.
