signs of life


More and more signs of spring out there, even though the s-word is in our forecast for tomorrow. A week ago, I was awakened by one bird singing solo. Now it is a chorus. The crocuses are abounding all over, and daffodils are making a showing.

And the sounds of spring are not confined to birdsong. Last night we were treated to the mellifluous tones of our tornado siren. It seems that cyclical, "tornadic" activity was spotted in a line of clouds passing through the south end of the county. Fortunately, nothing touched down.

These guys are still around, too.

Man, those crocuses (Croci, or Crocii?) are intense! Thanks for the eye candy.
