Earthworms are out on the sidewalk pavements now,
as they are every year at this time.

Spring peepers are in full chorus, and the hawks are flying low.

Yes, the spring peepers are peeping loud and clear here as well.
Supposed to rain all weekend,
but next week it might -- ugh -- snow instead.

There is a cold winter wind blowing now,
and it keeps sprinkling dry pellets of snow.
It will go below freezing tonight.
Spring might return next week.

Spring might return next week; in the meantime,
there is snow, freezing rain, sleet, and rain forecast.
Well, we are rated "moderate drought" at the moment,
so the precipitation will help, no matter what form it takes.

All that mess up north is giving us some lovely days back down in the 70's down here in SWFL before our brutal summer sets in. Fire season is with us and will be until the rains start.

Lovely two weeks of Spring here in the UK, daytime temperature hovering around 20C in darkest Colsterworth. Plenty more please.

Cheers

Ah Spring, the season of love. What is scary is that 51% of the new generation of men 18 to 24 have never asked a woman out in person.
What if a cyber attack wiped out the internet?

Don,

Well, they'd then date who they normally date:

Went kayaking in Estero bay last night under the pink moon. It was dream like, we brought back a
Snook for the table.

MCtF,

Well, whatever her name is, if she doesn't get a "Satisfaction Guaranteed" award, it won't be for the lack of trying!

Spring has sprung and it's like a mattress in a cartoon, springs poking out in every direction. Weeds being pulled, trimmer out to knock down grass in areas soon to be tilled for the garden.

Another spring happening,The Masters, concluded yesterday with gallery favorite Rory MclIroy breaking through and winning his first green jacket for a career grand slam with perhaps the most dramatic finish I can remember. The beautiful Augusta National golf course was again showing off it's spring colors.

Gone are the dark nights, the cold, the slippery pavements; it's shorts, ice-cream, strawberries and long walks in fragrant meadows.

Long may it last!

We had one of those days where it starts out sunny and warm
and then the temperature takes a nosedive.
I started out in short sleeves, and
ended up throwing on my winter coat over them.
We're in for about three nights near freezing.
Previously we had warmer nights and
it was starting to smell like spring
as well as sound like spring.

Still bare trees at this point. There are jonquils and daffodils coming out though.

The green trees hereabouts are still bare.
But the little trees with red leaves have buds opening
and the little red leaflets bursting out.

That word leaflets has more than one meaning, I just realized.

We've got a doozy of a thunderstorm headed this way,
according to the Doppler radar forecast.

And after last night's thunderstorm,
today the weather forecast has an advisory of fire hazard,
due to low humidity and high winds!

Regardless,
a beautiful spring sunrise for Easter Sunday.
