    We were out driving around this afternoon and saw 6 dead raccoons and 3 dead skunks along the roads. Sure sign of spring!

    I hate it when we find hedgehogs, squirrels. foxes and rabbits dead on our roads. You're right though it is a sign that spring is on its way.

    I'd prefer other sings of spring, thank you very much. Hope spring will spring for you very soon.

    Yuck indeed. I like to hear spring coming, and sure enough, late this afternoon I had to pop up the road and the birdies were really going for it. Yay spring!

    Pity about the poor animals endign up as roadkill
    :(

    However, I hope the anticipation and the arrival of Spring will make up for it.

    Personally, I'm waiting on the butterflies and hummingbirds as real signs of spring.

    Four years ago my granddaughter was intrigued and wanted us to stop for all road kill, so she could check it out. We did not oblige....we let her look at it as we drove by....
