Signs of spring
This far north, you don't exactly get hit over the head with joyous signs of spring. Instead, you have to be alert for them. So far the red twig has turned really red; the Christmas cranberry has lost its red; and the sap buckets are up. But today a hit-over-the-head sign: a flock of robins! Poor souls will have a hard time of it, arriving with snow cover and more snow coming. But bless their hearts for showing up on February 28, anyhow.
