Spring here.... the vultures are back (I understand they do not eat frozen carcasses, so their return indicates spring.). Because we have not had much in the way of frozen ground this winter, I expect the Japanese beetles to be out in force this year.

Yesterday I passed an alligator snapper that had just crossed the road

holly, but by the time I got home it was blooming and covered with honey 
bees. I feel like I'm in a time lapse world. I have the windows open,
and it's raining with dome thunderstorms in the area. The cats (and I)
are happy I have the day off.

I keep thinking about how many times I have seen all the fruit trees in 
full bloom and then we got a freeze that destroyed all chances of any
fruit.
Everything here looks like spring in full swing.  My daffodils and
forsythia look so beautiful! I need to work in my vegatable garden but keep thinking it might get cold again. I guess I need to give in to the 
current temps and just get out there.

When I looked out my back window this morning, I could see
six robins!  Thought I heard one yesterday, but couldn't spot
it, so told myself it was just wishful thinking.

I planted some peas last week on specs.  Think I'll put in
lettuce and mustard today.

But I can't help remembering heavy snowfalls in April a few
years ago.
