Signs of Spring

The morning light on my cat, Jezebel, is brighter
The robins have been around for at least two weeks now
Canada geese flying overhead woke me the other morning
I had to swerve my car to avoid hitting a wooly bear (catepillar) crossing the road yesterday. Hadn't seen one of those since fall.
The shoot of a lilly is poking through the snow and mud
Cardinals and red-winged blackbirds have been hitting the feeder, too
The hill sides are more brown than white
I am on my last cord of firewood
I can drive my car with little fear of getting caught in a storm. But you never know this time of year.
When the sun is out and you walk through the woods, you can hear the world coming back to life
Major League baseball players are already brawling
The New York State High School Basketball Championships are in town. Time to go watch a few games…
