Re: Spring has sprung!

Title: Re: Spring has sprung!
Report from San Diego County:

Spring has finally sprung.  How do I know?  Evidence is everywhere:

  • I went to open my bedroom skylight this morning and discovered that we had left it open all night -- something that is impossible to do in winter.
  • Weeds cover my yard
  • Poppies are in bloom
  • Frost-burned succulents have new growth on them
  • Salvias are reviving
  • I pulled the cover crop out of my raised veggie beds
  • A magnet pulls me into the garden each morning before I can sit down at the computer to work
  • Garden shows and tours are everywhere!
  • The money in my checking account is crying "spend me, spend me!"
  • The rabbit is shedding (and I am sneezing)
  • The acacias are in bloom (and I am sneezing)
  • Pine pollen is falling (and I am sneezing)
  • Oak pollen is shedding (and I am sneezing)
  • My native plants are going to town (they don't make me sneeze)
  • Ceanothus is in full bloom and the bees are going to town!  I don't know why people say there has been a decline in bee populations -- my yard is literally humming!

I'll think of a few more clues later on.  This will do for now!

Happy spring (to the northern hemisphere)

        An old spring poem,        for Nan

                Spring is sprung
                        The grass is riz
                I wonder where
                        The birdies is?

        Or:

                And now its spring
                        The bird is on the wing!
                Now, isn't that absurd?
                        The wing is on the bird!

                        Forgive me.                     ---Chas---
