Spring is here, I think...




Spring is here, I think.....
Well at least it should be, according to the calendar. Well actually the temperatures are slowly rising, and on some days are even too high, then it goes back down and snows and melts, and if it is above 32 degrees F. it is raining.  Well there is that old adage, April showers bring May flowers, we shall see. There are sprouts and shoots coming up and buds are on the trees and the forsythia, crocuses and daffodils are blooming too. The birdies are chirping up a storm and start their 'concert' at around 3:45 a.m. And for final proof, I took this photo of some new buds and sprouts on an unidentified shrub, with beautiful, almost sunset backlighting.  So this is helping to convince me that Spring is here. It is I guess, as much as it could be...
