Vernal Equinox

On my walk around my block on Friday, I saw a robin, harbinger of Spring. Later in the day, I saw two robins fighting over a fat earthworm in my own backyard. There's still a decent snow cover on the backyard (except over the septic tank), and the temperature Sunday morning was 28o F. Still looks like Winter, feels like Winter, (from where I sit) but the robins say it's Spring. Not arguing I'm glad to see Winter leave. Happy Vernal Equinox and mud season!

What's the first sign of Spring in your neck of the woods?

    I saw my first two robins last Friday. And this weekend, where the snow has melted, I saw some green sprouts that should turn into crocus and daffodils.

    Last week was 40s, this week is heading to 30 for a high.

    Spring is coming, spring is coming. Repeat as necessary.

    The first harbinger of spring here to me is the smell.

    The snow starts melting and the moisture hangs in the air.

    Damp earth, wet bark, sodden, dormant grass.

    Ah, spring!

    Same here--the robins announce it. They came a week and a half ago, even though it was cold and snowy still.

    Yay, spring!

    I saw a robin today! Usually, I see a few mosquitoes...or buds on the trees. Oh, and weeds! lol
