Comes…
SUPER green grass*
*photo edited for naked eye effect 🙂
Also little ants have crept into my house
And rainy days aren’t quite so sad with birds chirping and flowers blooming
But despite the warmer weather, hot oats sounded great.
Served up this morning…
Coach’s Oats whipped with banana, milk, water and chia seeds. Stirred with cinnamon and vanilla. Topped with Uncle Sam, Sunbutter and Seven Keys Coconut Spread that a blog reader sent me from Parkesdale Farm! It melted in and provided coconut essence throughout.
Earl Gray!
And springtime noises.

Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
Happy Spring! 🙂 What a nice picture! Enjoy the beautiful weather today!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
Annnnd you just reminded me we need to caulk under the siding in front of the kitchen! We get those dang ants every year. Terro Ant Baits (the liquid kind) work awesome because they take it back to the colony but waiting for that to happen stinks and gives me the heebie jeebies!
KathEats says
We probably should do that too…
Mom says
I was just going to write to get Terro. I like it when they form a perfect circle around the Terro.
Cheryl @ Happy is the new healthy says
This post makes me happy. And hungry.
I love the ants!
There’s something about the smell or the sounds of spring that make it oh so exciting. 🙂 Eeeeek! By Easter I’m walking around with a perma smile on my face! I think it’s the tulips or the daffodils.
jessica / green skies and sugar trips says
no joke, my horoscope today said I was going to have either a leak or ants in the house! lol
Michelle (Peachy Palate) says
Oh I love Spring! Clocks don’t go forward until next weekend here but loving the brighter evenings already! Hot oats are great any time of the year! 🙂 yours always look so incredible, never fail to ignite a craving!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
i’m wishing it looked more like spring out our window right now… this morning it looks more like the middle of january with a bunch of snow on the ground! a random storm decided to sweep through northern utah this weekend, but fortunately it’s supposed to melt off and be warm again in a couple days. 🙂
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I should have made oats this morning because it’s CHILLY here…maybe tomorrow! 🙂
Yay for spring time!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
Record high temperatures in New Hampshire today – I’m loving spring!
Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life says
Love the spring foliage! Such a happy way to start a Monday! 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
It’s feeling very springy here too! I’ve been sleeping with my window open lately and I love waking up listening to the birds outside. Have a great Monday Kath!
Jodi @ Jodi, Fat or Not says
Ugh, I’m dreading the return of the ants. Every summer they creep into my apartment and find any crumb left on the floor. It was so nice waking up this morning to the sounds of birds chirping – inspired me to get out of bed and walk to the gym!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Those little ants are adorable!
Our high today is supposed to be 89. Un-flippin’-believable.

I love that first photo! Gorgeous!
Spring cleaning the RV this weekend and camping out for the first time since last summer made my weekend! I am loving this weather.
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
This is the time of year I really wish I lived about 5 states south so we’d have some flowering trees like you guys right now. Only thing of color are my daffodils so far but it’s coming…soon! Hopefully today’s 80 degree weather will help those buds along!
Angel7 says
I love the springtime noises! The noises remind me of happy days when I was little 🙂

Nescett @ bananaoats says
Oh Kath! Your post just reminded me! When I was pregnant, (nearly 10 years ago now) we lived in a duplex that was plagued by ants! I was growing a baby and working and these ants were HAUNTING me. Every morning I’d wake up and they would have attacked over night, they even got inside the refrigerated! Inside! I had that place soooo clean but they still came, and they came in armies. They’d swarm the floor. They got INSIDE the peanut butter jar INSIDE the fridge. Ugh! Even after the exterminator came there were ants. Ugh, I’m getting agitated just thinking about it! 🙂 I’m certain I now have an ant phobia. 🙂

We’ve got the ants in our house now too! Official signs of spring 🙂
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Spring weather here in Southern Ontario…loving it!!! My beautiful purple crocuses greeted me yesterday, my back patio door can be left open for fresh air and the sound of birds chirping is filling the air! Oh I do hope this weather system stays put!
Jamie @ Don't Forget the Cinnamon says
I also enjoyed hot oats in the sunshine this morning! Mine featured banana, vanilla and almond extracts, maple almond butter, and cinnamon.
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Love your green bowl. And the greenery of spring. But I HATE ants….eek! Not a fan. I have an ant infestation memory about a swarm of them coming to pay me a visit in my first house in San Diego. I hope they leave you alone! 🙂
Megan @ Megan's Munchies says
The Spring noises I woke up to this morning were storms and winds!
Kelly @ Vegolosophy says

I love coconut in breakfast cereals. Each time I open the lid, it smells more delicious than I remember. Enjoy the nice day!
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
Everything has been so much greener lately! I’m loving it!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I was eating smoothies well into fall, I have a feeling I’ll be eating oats well into spring! It’s hard to give up breakfast habits!
katie @KatieDid says
ahhh love spring noises! And all your photos are always os bright and cheery and scram spring time to me almost any time of year.
~Christy @ wonderofallthings says
We’re three weeks ahead of where we normally are in MN and I came home from a weekend away to green grass as well. Amazing! Your photos remind me of what’s ahead 🙂
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
Ughh, I am hoping we don’t have any ant problems! I saw a ton of them on the sidewalk when I was walking around my neighborhood the other day. They better stay far away from my house!
I am loving the colors outside, but lawn needs some serious TLC. It’s still so dead from “winter!”
[email protected] Broken Cookies Don't Count says
I love hearing the birds singing these days!
Dilek & Alba @ TwoBaklavasStory says
I love spring!! I even love the creeper ants! 🙂
Andrea @ The Skinny Chronicles says

Heidi Bundles Of Hugs says
What a beautiful site to start your day!
Grace @ Healthy Dreaming says
Gorgeous grass and trees! I love spring so I’m excited winter is over. FL is getting way too hot for my liking though.
I’m sipping Earl Grey Tea as we speak 🙂
Laura S says
You have such an early spring! We’ll still get snow at least 3 or 4 times this year, spring doesn’t start until at least mid-april! March is still considered winter!
Hope you enjoy the greenery!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
i love everything spring! your colorful pictures are beautiful as always 🙂
Lexi @ Cura Personalis Foodie says
Even with temperatures up to the 80s here at Georgetown, I’m still going strong on hot oats!
I think groundhog day should really signify how much longer we eat hot oats before switching to overnight oats 🙂

I love it when the weather starts getting warmer and you know that spring is here and here to stay!
I found No Bull burgers yesterday at Whole Foods and I wanted to say thank you!!! I saw them on your blog and knew I had to try them because I love a really good veggie burger and these are it!
