Ho avuto abbastanza di inverno, ogni cane, gatto, criceto e umano amico,
(I have had enough winter, everydoggie, kitty, hamster and human friend,)
so I have been focusing my thoughts on spring for the past few weeks …
… and keeping my paws crossed that it would get here soon!
So ... la lezione di lingua italiana di oggi è:
(... the Italian lesson for today is:)
Segni di primavera!
(Signs of Spring!)
When I heard the birds singing this morning, I just knew: spring had arrived in mia citta! (my city!) I could sniff it in the air! 
I ran outside like a blur to look for it. 
This very stubborn tree STILL won't let go of last year’s leaves – santa vacca! (holy cow!) Talk about refusing to embrace change!! But I wasn’t fooled by it! 
I noticed that lots of other plants in my yard seem to be getting ready for the season – like these bambini narcissi (baby daffodils). Awwww! 
And here are some grande narcissi! (large daffodils!)
Mia ragazza says she thinks this is a flower called Arance e Limoni (Oranges and Lemons) that she planted last year. She is glad to see it survived our hard winter!
Affrettatevi, lillà!
(Hurry, lilacs!)
Mmmm! Ortensia canne da ultimo anno (hydrangea canes from last year).
Now, if I can just reach one …
Got it!
I hope spring shows up very soon for all of you, too!

PeeEss: To Noah, Tess, Willow, Lucy, Opy, Charlie and all dear, sweet pals who are wayyyyyyyy down south, I hope your autumn is full of beautiful colors!
Oopsy, wait, another PeeEss: Per favore (please), go visit Lilly, Piper and Carrleigh, a trio of Scottish Terrier cutie pies who are new to our bloggiverse. Now ... you all know I'm a smidgey geloso (jealous) of mia sorella (my sister) of another decade, Scottish Terrier St. Jinks the Good, but I have to admit, THESE three doggies look like they're going to be great new pals -- and lots of fun! Benvenuto, nuovi favulosi amici! (Welcome, fabulous new friends!)

Ciao Lucia,
How sweet of you to come visit us!!! We love making new friends --(shhh, and our Mom is mad about airedales!!!)
We know a few words of Italian from listening to Luciano so maybe we'll pick up a few more words from you!!
Please add us to your blog list, so you'll come visit more often. Our Mom sometimes gets too busy with her work and forgets to make time to go see our friends -- but if we growl loud enough, she'll take a few minutes!!

We're supposed to get one more "winter" storm here, which for us just means rain. After that, spring!
Hello there
It's furry nice to meet you :)
I came across your blog through Paw It Forward and thought I would stop by and say Hi. Stop by my blog sometime, I like to make new friends. Also fur all the single pups out there, my brother Scooby has just started his own "business" called Lookin' Fur Love. You can find it on my blog.
Big licks to you

Spring is molto bello ! Here I am celebrating the spring with some Gelato ! Miam miam.....are you going to celebrate ?
Kisses for you bella Lucia, Faya
Lucia,
We are enjoying hearing Mom try to speak Italian (she has a bit of a southern accent). She and Dad are planning a vacation for this summer and Mom is voting for Italy. You know what that means - we'll get to go to the "spa" to stay.
Enjoy the sunshine :):):)
Lilly, Piper and Carrleigh
Lucia, you're too much!
I am right behind you-- searching for Segni di primavera too! (See your italian lessons are paying off)
All I discovered was a green patch of grass :( and the temperature is dropping this next few days.
Bet your backyard will be blooming before you know it.
Kisses,
tula
Hi, Lucia!

Here is very hot. It feels like summer!

Looks like Spring is coming to you soon. ;)
