Signs of Spring

The petals (or are they the sepals?) on the witch hazel are longer and brighter than they were when they first appeared a few weeks ago. The birds are singing different songs — already establishing pecking order and territory? And plants are budding out everywhere.

Here is the witchhazel again… in all its glory!

And one more sign, the real clincher:  a pair of robins are happily scouting the yard, lifting leaves for bugs and singing!

But remember, it’s still two months to the equinox…
