Signs ................of spring!
#1
Finally here in the finger lakes the last of the snow is melting from the big piles. I walked our 12 acres today and my crocus and tete a tete daffodils are blooming, as well as the skunk cabbage in our wetland corner of the property. We have been hearing the birds romancing one another for a couple weeks, but now it is the spring peepers (little frogs) with a deafening chorus of high pitched sounds. SPRING IS HERE.

I always know when Spring really is here ....... when we see the first dandelions blooming! :)
I guess I will have to start watching my roadside mailbox ... the last few years I have a persistent bird that has conveniently built her nest in there!

Spring for us is the spring peepers (although the toads croaking are a little earlier than the peepers), the arrival of the robins, the skunk cabbages, the doves building their nests in the pine tree, pee-the-beds blooming along with the Bloodroots. Yup - Spring has sprung!

Pee-the-beds are little yellow flowers (not dandelions but similar) that grow on roadsides in leaf litter or even in stones and debris. They open in the morning and close in the evening and are right back the next morning. Gee - you should have them in New York ... ;o)
