The signs..

that spring is definitely springing:

• fully-blooming early daffodils
• the first species tulip
• buds on the dogwood j-u-s-t beginning to open
• blooms on red maples in the historic district
• cardinals making much more racket than they've made in months (Could love be in bloom?)            . . . . . and
• buds on the physocarpus!
