signs of spring.

Today is Opening Day, which is surely a good sign. I'm half tempted to blow off work and go downtown for the Findlay Market Parade. In spite of continued gray skies (which have seemed eternal all during February and March), I'm seeing tiny signs of spring:

• the faintest haze of green in the low brush along roadsides
• plum trees in bloom
• our forsythia are about to pop into bloom
• lots of bird activity
• the lawn is getting its green color back
• daffodils!
