Is it really Spring? Well, at the first of the month, we had a big snowstorm. Now, the lilac bushes are leafing out, I heard frogs down in the swamp, the goldfinches have turned a bright yellow, the allium plants are about a foot tall out by the pole barn, the grass is greening up, the snowplow is parked outback, and the picnic table is out of the barn and sitting on the patio. These surely are a sign of Spring. Temperature has reached above 60 and we should be getting rain in the next few days. But, there are still a few weeks in April, way too early for Spring. We are not putting away the long underwear. That would certainly provoke a snowstorm. We are so SICK of winter!
