Leaf Day

Hi there bloggers,

The temperatures are rising and the grass is turning green (in most spots), but are you watching for Leaf Day?

What's that?  It's something I made up for my kids years ago and it's fun to keep track of it year after year.  Leaf Day is the day when the leaves on all the trees are open.  Yes, I know, different species blossom at different times, but most of the mature trees around here seem to open their leaves on or around the same day.

The fun part is, you never know when that will happen.  One day you look at the trees and their branches are bare.  The next day, voila! they are filled with leaves!!

That's Leaf Day.  Let's all keep watching for Leaf Day, 2008.

soon the post office people will get that off too. Oh and the teacher's day off. Just kidding, but it seems like everytime we turn around there is some day that our children get off of school for some reason. Well the leaf day is neat. I will tell my children about that one.
