Trees and shrubs starting to bud, nice sunny days, birds moving in from the south, even saw a bee flying around. Spring's a-comin!

It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

Crocuses are blooming all over my back garden but Spring does not officially arrive until my Trillium are up. A friend found a couple of monsterously tall ones at a nursery years back and gave them to me. They keep expanding and now I get about 15. The biggest ones are more than a foot tall. Nothing beats Trillium in your garden to announce Spring.

I like watching the birds as a barometer of spring. I saw a hummingbird tanking up with nectar from a red-flowering currant two days ago. My own definition of spring though is when I see swallows return. That hasn't happened yet.

Tree Swallows might be the exception. They often here already by mid-February. I watched them last week on the Samish Flats. Anna's Hummingbird stays around all winter.

Sorry, it's not spring until the yellow of the dandelion graces the grass.

last day of February, 2003.
Thank heavens spring's coming. It always seem to come just in time for those of us who suffer SAD.
