What represents Spring in North Dakota to you?
I'm stumped. I am doing an art swap with a gal in England - one of the challenges is to buy/make something that represents Spring where I live, which obviously is in ND. lol.
So...what comes to YOUR mind? So far all I can think of is snow, because thats the mindset I'm in right now  Late spring I think of MUD. and more MUD. I suppose I could just do a brown ATC .... But I digress.....
Your turn. |

I grew up in Rugby, ND and around our house Tulips were always the first thing out of the ground when spring came, if my memory hasn't deceived me....  |

In Fargo, it's the first week in May when older sections of the city are in a pink cloud of blossom and fragrance from the crabapples in bloom.

For this year, especially, get her one of those "United We Sand" T-shirts that are being sold as a fundraiser to help people affected by the flooding in the state.

North Dakota has a spring? I only remember an eight month winter followed by May, June, July, and August. When temps are in the 70s and 80s during Feburary and March in the gulf region, I realize how little I miss North Dakota's weather.  |

What I remember about spring: Having to rake all the decaying leaves that were uncovered when the snow melted. 
Green- after a long winter, when you see trees budding you know that the worst is finally over. |
