Thread Name: BS: Signs of spring
Subject: RE: BS: Signs of spring
Well I saw my first robin the other day; that did it for me!

We still have a fair amount of snow on the ground here; there are worries that there will be flooding if it nmelts too fast. It wil get cold again this week so that will slow it down a bit which is good. (Also good as I am going to Florida on Wednesday!)

My daylilies are coming up; have not seen any other spring flowers; the bluebells in the neighborhood are under snow still...I have a tree full of pussywillows (sadly it has not been pruned in years so the "pussies" are too high up to pick..)

yesterday sunrise and sunset were exactly twelve hours apart! talk about Equinox!

I shall fast (well, not totally abstain from food; just fruits and nuts and herbal tea) for the next three days as spring arrives; I do this at fall equinox too...
