Spring has arrived -- astronomical spring arrived today (meteorological spring arrived on March 1, but that is a subject for another blog <smile>). The day remained grey with above freezing temperatures and a mid-afternoon feeling of humidity that made a lighter coat necessary.
When out walking I saw snow drops in someone's front yard yesterday. I'm hoping these will appear in my lawn soon, along with squill and crocuses. They should appear in the next couple of seeks. My lawn faces north, so it sometimes takes things a bit longer to show up in the yard. Lily and iris shoots are up at least two inches. After thos come magnolias and rhododendrons -- not in this yard but all around town. It is these first little shoots that hold all that hope in their tiny green leaves.
A song that describes the arrival of spring fit the pondering of the day. It has a middle-ages folky sound that is relaxing. Keep safe. Enjoy!
