Here are a few sure signs of spring happening here the past 2 week.


Blue birds showed.

Robins showed.

Buzzards showed.

Lawn business trucks appeared on the roads, and they are fertilizing yards.

It rained some.

Finches are getting to be bright red.

Whilst hiking today, i wore a cotton vest.

Fella was seen working his yard wearing a t-shirt.

Deer are grazing the meadows, and pastures down low, perhaps eating fresh sprouts, and they are looking quite scruffy as they shed winter coat.

Dawn happens earlier and earlier each and every day now.

Wife is less sour, and more sweet.


Probably more to follow if i manage to notice.

We still have plenty of snow, about 18 degrees this AM, still driving on the lakes, (24"/30" of ice) but spring will arrive, it always has.

It's pretty clear - I is on first and second. You just said so. But I don't know how I can be in two places at the same time. Maybe the ewe ewe were referring to was not me. Perhaps it was ewe? You're not making a lot of sense here Ron. Are you sure you're not semisane?
