Spring has sprung!

Title: 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)

Nan
