Donna, Were you aware of the earthquake early this morning? Downstate we  
didn't know a thing about it but I was awakened at the exact time it  
occurred...but didn't feel a thing. Kathy

NO where in sight here.....

I hope everyone in  the snow belt this weekend is OK.... 26-30 inches of 
snow
is just unreal.  (at least for that area of the country)

Jim, three weeks ago the quince beside my kitchen window was  showing
color in its buds, and I discovered daffs and hellebores up a  couple of
inches
under the mulch.  Since then we have had two bouts  of extremely cold
weather - single digits at night and low 20s in the  day.  Today is very
bright
but with a high of 22 degrees.  I'm  afraid those early harbingers have been
lost, or at least haven't  progressed any.  What I have noticed in the last
few days, however, is  that the male goldfinches are beginning to look
yellow around the neck, and  a couple have a few bright feathers on their
shoulders.  That has  always been a positive sign of spring to me.
And the days are definitely  getting longer.  That's the best sign.

It may be a harbinger: Flower buds on the apricot tree are  beginning 
to break; flower buds on the cherry trees are swelling up.  Weather's 
still crappy, though; overcast, drizzly, persistently  chilly.
