Springtime?

Reasons I know it's springtime in the Rockies (or near the Rockies, such as we are):

-It's getting green outside! Flowers and trees are blooming! Such a nice change from the brown of winter
-It's warm
-Weather:
Thursday - 77 degrees and sunny
Friday - 67 degrees and sunny
Saturday - 55 degrees and raining
-Cyclists are reappearing on the roads. So far I haven't encountered any riding three abreast or who think that they have the right-of-way at all times. That's coming.
-Hot car
-Children who complain about getting into said hot car
-Sunscreen is already a necessity for more than 3 minutes in the Colorado sun
-Allergies
-Lawnmower sounds. All day. Everyday. Especially during nap time.
-Only 3 more weeks till school's out!
-Activities are winding down (which is both good and bad)
-Open windows
-The town pools open in just over 2 weeks!
-Bees (and bugs) making their post-winter appearance
-no more footie pajamas for the kids
-laundry includes both shorts and sweatshirts
-I think the snowboots and snow bibs are in the closet for a good 6 months (I thought that in March and April, too, but I think this time is real!)
